Rabbitmq HTTP API request UnAuthorized

Question

I am trying to create a new exchange using the http api request. The URL I have used to create Exchange is , http://guest:guest@localhost:55672/api/exchanges/%2F/myexq1 but it gives me error of 401 Unauthorized. I am using chrome rest client to do this request. What could be the reason? Any help will appreciated.

Have solve the problem in other way. The error is there while using the URL http://guest:guest@localhost:55672/api/exchanges/%2F/myexq1 . But to acheive my goal I have written a small class. Here is the code:

        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();         
        HttpHost targetHost = new HttpHost("xx.xx.xx.xx", 55672, "http");

        HttpPut request = new HttpPut(
                "/api/queues/%2F/q1");

        httpClient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
                new AuthScope(targetHost.getHostName(), targetHost.getPort()), 
                new UsernamePasswordCredentials("guest", "guest"));

        AuthCache authCache = new BasicAuthCache();
        BasicScheme basicAuth = new BasicScheme();
        authCache.put(targetHost, basicAuth);
        BasicHttpContext localcontext = new BasicHttpContext();
        localcontext.setAttribute(ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE, authCache);

        request.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

        StringEntity input = new StringEntity(
                 "{\"vhost\":\"/\",\"durable\":\"false\",\"auto_delete\":\"false\",\"arguments\":{}}");

        request.setEntity(input);

        HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(targetHost, request, localcontext);

Jar I have included is:

commons-logging-1.1.1
httpclient-4.1.3
httpclient-cache-4.1.3
