Can't login

I followed instructions in README. I'm using RetroShare 0.6.6.

When I open the webui/index.html page, before I do anything, RetroShare immediately prints:

W 1622922469.917 JsonApiServer authentication handler blocked an attempt to call JSON API authenticated method: /rsEvents/registerEventsHandler user: webui error: 2006 Wrong API password category: RetroShare JSON API

In RetroShare GUI JSON settings I had previously added the token webui:foo. So I enter username as webui and password as foo. I click login.

RetroShare then prints:

W 1622922656.813

The web browser displays in red text:

Retroshare-jsonapi not available.
Please fix host and/or port

Have you set the correct port?

Can you please check if you can curl the API directly?

curl --verbose -u webui:foo -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://127.0.0.1:9092/rsPeers/GetRetroshareInvite

[electronstudio]

Yes I think I can curl API directly:

I know nothing about debugging Javascript but I loaded the console in Firefox and it showed this, which may be the problem?

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://127.0.0.1:9092/rsEvents/registerEventsHandler. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

[rottencandy]

Ah right, this was recently fixed in RS: https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare/pull/2386 Perhaps your build does not have the fix yet.

If possible, you could try with a more recent build.
