Can't create a Channel using API method createChannelV2

[jpascualsana]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a channel using the new API method: rsGxsChannels/createChannelV2.

I'm trying to do:

curl -u "$ACCOUNT:$PASSWORD" -d '{ "description" : "no description","name" : "TestwithV2"}' http://127.0.0.1:9092/rsGxsChannels/createChannelV2

With the old method this curl command works properly. I don't know if i'm doing something wrong.

I'm using retroshare-service instaled by OBS repository on a linux mint 19, this is the version info:

{'major': 0, 'minor': 6, 'mini': 5, 'extra': '-retroshare-service-OBS-deb', 'human': '0.6.5-retroshare-service-OBS-deb'}

what do you get? an http error or false returned? you can pass -v option to curl so it is more verbose

I think the error message is: * no chunk, no close, no size. Assume close to signal end

*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 9092 (#0)
* Server auth using Basic with user ''

It seems method is not published on my version?

yeah this is the interesting part HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found it means either the path is wrong or the version you are using is old enough to not have it yet, I recommend you compile retroshare-service from source for development purposes

[G10h4ck]

Also it seems you installed the retroshare-service stable package, in that case also try tu remove it and install retroshare-service-unstable instead

Ok, using a compiled version of retroshare-service build from RetroShare master makes the method working
