I was super excited to see that Voyager added experimental support for Piefed. I went a created an account on feddit.online, and tried to log in… and got a connection error. No worries, it’s experimental. That was like 5 months ago and it’s still happening and I’m starting to suspect it’s not going to get better on its own. I use a password manager, and it’s saying “connection error” so I feel like it’s probably not bad credentials? Did I choose a bad instance or is this client-side?

When I do a curl request to the feddit.online API endpoint I can log in fine. If I use an invalid password I get the expected error message.

rimu@rimu-mate2 ~ $ curl --request POST \
  --url https://feddit.online/api/alpha/user/login \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "username": "rimu",
  "password": "valid password"
}'
{"jwt":"some gibberish"}
rimu@rimu-mate2 ~ $ curl --request POST   --url https://feddit.online/api/alpha/user/login   --header 'Content-Type: application/json'   --data '{
  "username": "rimu",
  "password": "invalid password"
}'
{"code":400,"message":"incorrect_login","status":"Bad Request"}

But the logins from Voyager are returning 400 (Bad Request), although the username and password are correct, and to me, the request looks good.

I posted what is coming into the server. The only anomaly I saw was that the session cookie referrer seemed odd. Can you look at the request I posted? Do you see any reason it would be seen as a bad request?

The odd thing is that while I get an error 95% of the time trying to log into Voyager, twice it did let me log in. I don't know what was different about those 2 times.

Nothing gets logged to syslog, any nginx logs, pyfedi.log, or journalctl.
