Tycho,

I did accept the self-signed cert in Firefox as Mozilla makes that a simple process to do.

Firefox got the above error when trying to hit.

At this point there is no reason for user auth, as I understand the docs is some kind of data is sent back without the whole user + password handshake dance.


What I am looking for is does any one have this LXD rest server running out in the wild?

I've tried about every way I know to resolve this issue.


I would of thought going to a browser would been the great equalizer ot at least got some kind of a response.


If one can not log into a local running instance of LXD server using a browser even when it say it's running.

Something is up and not working is my best guess.


No idea how to resolve it at this moment.
