try {
String url = "[http://10.11.92.23:5601/api/spaces/space](http://10.11.92.23:5601/api/spaces/space)";
String id = "Demo", name = "Sample", description = "This is my sample demo", initials = "DM", color ="#aabbcc";
URL obj = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");

conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
String userpass = "kibana" + ":" + "kibana";

System.out.println("Base64 encoded auth string: " + authStringEnc);
