Inconsistent connection to Restful api using the HTTP interface

The site i am connecting provide a public and private key for Restful connection. They provided a JAVA example to connect so i tried to re-implement it. I have created my own RequestMessage header(date,method,authorization,accept) with matlab.net.http.field.GenericField which contain hmacsha1 of pivate key,message followed by base64 encoding.

I have managed to get the Restful api data but most of the time it give me 401 unauthorized error so i need to run the script three to five times to get authenticated. Is this a normal behaviour when using the http interface? When i use the site provided python and java application it can connect without this behaviour.

      header = [cy_header_5 cy_header_1  cy_header_2 cy_header_3 cy_header_4];

      reqline = matlab.net.http.RequestLine('GET',cy_url,'HTTP/1.1');
      cy_req = matlab.net.http.RequestMessage(reqline,header,[]); 
      uri = matlab.net.URI(url);

options = matlab.net.http.HTTPOptions('Authenticate',false);
[response,completedrequest,history] = send(request,uri,options);
response.Body.Data % shows the json data

solve this by changing the base64encode function that i get from fileexchange into matlab built in base64encode called matlab.net.base64encode
