Description

In http://plonerestapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/authentication.html
the first example is using Plone as root for Get request
image
and on the same page the example of authentication with token plone is used as root for Get request
image

since it is mentioned here http://plonerestapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/conventions.html#upper-vs-lowercase that we should use lowecase in URIs the first one should be changed to from Plone to plone
