Anyone have any luck with passing a user name and password the the Poll an External Website for XML?

Question

I've been trying to create a connection to an XML site that requires a user name and password.

The URL structure I've been attempting is:

https://user@domain.com:password@app.site.com/feeds/assets.xml//user@domain.com:password@app.site.com/feeds/assets.xml

This URL has worked when I use it in a browser, but GeoEvent is having issues with it.  Cs soon as it hits the first @ it reads the rest as the URL

Error creating the URL: https://user@domain.com:password@app.site.com///user@domain.com:password@app.site.com/ Error: Stream handler unavailable due to: For input string: password@app.site.com/".

I'm using ArcGIS Server 10.3 and GeoEvent 10.3

The issue is, the server I am trying to access is 3rd party, and the only allowed logins have a@domain.com requirement from the company.  I am reaching out to the admin to see if I can get a login without @.

Jacob, we have had success polling an external website for JSON, see screenshot below for a configuration sample setup in GeoEvent 10.2.2-
