Digest Authentication using Request PHP or any other in codeigniter - php

Question

I have used
http://requests.ryanmccue.info/ and https://github.com/rmccue/Requests
I am using Request library, but any other library can also be suggested.
My code for CodeIgniter
class Home extends CI_Controller{
public function index(){
$this->load->library('PHPRequest');
$this->rest_client();
}
function rest_client(){
$user = 'myusername';
$pass = 'mypass';
$BaseApiUrl = 'myurl';
$headers = array('Accept' => 'application/json');
$options = array('auth' => new Requests_Auth_Basic(array($user, $pass)));
$request = Requests::get($BaseApiUrl, $headers, $options);
var_dump($request->status_code);
var_dump($request->body);
}
}
But I am getting the following error:
int(401) string(28) "HTTP Digest: Access denied. "

Using Curl PHP Now
$options = array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false, // for https
CURLOPT_USERPWD => $username . ":" . $password,
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_DIGEST
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );
try {
$raw_response = curl_exec( $ch );
// validate CURL status
if(curl_errno($ch))
throw new Exception(curl_error($ch), 500);
// validate HTTP status code (user/password credential issues)
$status_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if ($status_code != 200)
throw new Exception("Response with Status Code [" . $status_code . "].", 500);
} catch(Exception $ex) {
if ($ch != null) curl_close($ch);
throw new Exception($ex);
}
if ($ch != null) curl_close($ch);
return json_decode($raw_response);
