  1. @mcnalu AndStatus has been having problems with many GNU social (and by extension postActiv) installs for some time.  They seem to now just be focussing on Mastodon, which is unfortunate.

    1. @maiyannah Actually recent # development was focused on aligning internal data model with # specification.
      Regarding recently introduced (regression) problems with GNU Social - I am simply unaware of such cases. If you have such problems, please file bugs here: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues

      1. @andstatus @mcnalu @thefaico Dude, I complained of the same problem literally this time last year.

        1. @maiyannah I meant GNU Social problems, which require any fixes at # side. Yes, I found our conversation last year about authentication problem at Highlandarrow. That time the problem was supposedly caused by wrong server certificate: https://gnusocial.no/notice/2414203

          1. @andstatus @kevie @thefaico Yeah and changing that affected diddly squat as evidenced by recent things.

            1. @maiyannah I didn't know that new certificates didn't help. So please don't feel ignored :-)
              1. I just tested connection to community.highlandarrow.com server using AndStatus and got the same HTTP 401 response and text
              {
              "error": "Could not authenticate you.",
              "request": "\/api\/account\/verify_credentials.json"
              }
              on trying to access https://community.highlandarrow.com/api/account/verify_credentials.json
              2. Then I tried to access the same URL "manually" using Chrome desktop and MS Explorer 11: "Sign in" pop-up opens. I typed "andstatus" as username and my password - they don't work this way either and I got the same 401 error.
              3. I can log in to https://community.highlandarrow.com/ via Web interface using the same credentials.
              4. I tested the same "manual" access of the "api/account/verify_credentials.json" at https://loadaverage.org/api/account/verify_credentials.json using browser - sign in works there.
              My conclusion: there is some misconfiguration at a server side that prevents authentication. Please test it trying to sign in via a browser and the URL: https://community.highlandarrow.com/api/account/verify_credentials.json
