What does `mailman info` say?  That will print the hostname:port that the REST
server is listening on, and the basic auth credentials in use.  All of those
are of course configurable in your mailman.cfg file.

If your curl arguments match what `mailman info` says, then there must be
something else going on.  Maybe there's a firewall issue?  You can also check
the Mailman logs to see if you're getting some exception or other in the
server, and of course you can also adjust the logging level in the mailman.cfg
file.
