The authorisation token link doesn't seem to be going to the correct URL? #13

In trying to get an authorisation code, I found that instead of bringing up the authorisation request page, it was simply opening a new tab and going straight /web/getting_started. I was able to get around this by instead copying the URL generated in the console output and pasting it into Firefox and that worked A-OK.

I'm guessing the URL used in the POST request might be getting malformed or something? I'm not sure, because around that point, there wasn't any other feedback.

Which server instance are you trying to connect to?

social.diskseven.com

[EDIT] Getting that link right took more than a couple of tries, whoops. ^-^'

Ok, can't quite try it out with that instance, since its private & registrations are closed. However if you you managed to manually copy & paste the URL from the terminal, then that's the very same URL that should be opened when you click the link from inside the app.

We're now also displaying the provided auth URL during the login process, where you can also copy it to your clipboard.

Closing as I can't reproduce this with various instances I've tested Telephant with. If you still can, please provide as much info from the output as you can, and I'll happily investigate some more.
