RemoteType: github RemoteSha: a3d883cbf3ff37fce603a7276cf7cbbec2c0ef12 Problem: The rsconnect::restartApp() function is designed to work exclusively with Shiny Servers. However, when a user attempts to use it for an app deployed on a Connect server, the logs provide inaccurate feedback.

Steps:

1. Deploy an app on Posti Connect
2. Navigate to IDE --> console
3. Run rsconnect::restartApp( appName = "Your_app_name", server = "test_box", account = "Your_account_name")

Actual Result: restarting fails with the following error message

rsconnect::restartApp(appName = "appname", account = "testaccount", 
server = "test_box")
Restarting application...
Error in `POST()`:
! <http://xxxxxxx:xxx/__api__/applications/xxxx/deploy> failed with
 HTTP status 500

Run `rlang::last_trace()` to see where the error occurred.
