Firefox addon gives misleading error message when not logged in #519

alexlehm commented 10 years ago

When using the firefox addon while not logged in doesn't work, but it gives a misleading error message:

Attempted to ping the server but got an error: 'Error making ping request.'
Please check your api url, username, and api_key settings

This is since the api call ping returns 403 if the user is not logged in, it would be better if the error message would say that.

However the problem is caused by a format error in the request, since I had an additional space in the api key.

ok, that means it is not misleading at all, I just didn't get the part about checking the api_key, sorry
