WOW!!!
So today i finally tried out the Cisco SD-WAN sandbox on their DevNet site and WOW it was an absolute mess trying to get anything REST related to work. I spent the last 4 hours trying every which way possible to get an API response call back for ANY API call in the end and i got this back everytime.....

I tried port 443, entering the creds in the request, even tried getting REST calls on the vManage box itself and STILL got the same error. THANKS FOR THE DOCUMENTATION EXPLAINING THIS CISCO....UNBELIEVABLE!
After spending almost 4 hours almost pulling my hair out trying every which way to get that useless thing to work, have a rant and putting this to people on here is justified in my opinion!
I don't know if its just that API in particular being terrible or me doing something wrong BUT THANKS FOR THE DOCUMENTATION ON HOW TO FULLY DO AN API CALL CORRECTLY, MY GOD I NEED A BREAK...wow!
