Mattermost API "http/1.1 302 moved temporarily"

Troubleshooting
1

Hello, I have success fully mapped by domain to url server on google cloud and everything is working correctly on the desktop app. However when I try and log in through the API call I get http/1.1 302 moved temporarily rather than http/1.1 200 OK per the documentation. Anyone can suggest what the issue is?

curl -i -d “{“login_id”:“someone@nowhere.com”,“password”:“thisisabadpassword”}” http://myurl.com/api/v4/users/login

If you use quotes like that, you should be seeing an HTTP 400 bad request, because the quotes in your -d argument don’t make any sense. I was able to successfully log in to my dev server like this:

musikpolice$ curl -i -d '{"login_id":"musikpolice@mattermost.com", "password":"thisisagoodpassword"}' http://localhost:8065/api/v4/users/login
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Similarly, if I specify a bad password, I get an HTTP 401 back:

musikpolice$ curl -i -d '{"login_id":"musikpolice@mattermost.com", "password":"this isabadpassword"}' http://localhost:8065/api/v4/users/login
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

Can you confirm that you’re using the correct cURL syntax?
