POST to /api/scripts/direct does not work.

[Besangelo]

Expected Behaviour

I'm trying to send command to Stellarium via the RemoteContol plugin from a .NET application, using "ScriptService operations (/api/scripts/)" POST direct operation.
The command I'm using to try this is "core.quitStellarium();" (just to have a simple command without any parameter).
I'm expeting Stellarium to execute the command and quit (or do whatever else I put in the command).

Actual Behaviour

Nothing happens, the command seems to be ignored.

Most interesting thing (and probably really relevant) I find the following lines in the Stellarium\Log.txt everytime I try to POST to /api/scripts/direct
QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method StelScriptMgr::runScriptDirect(QString,QString)
Candidates are:
runScriptDirect(QString,QString,int&,QString)
runScriptDirect(QString,QString,int&)

This packet is created & sent by the HttpClient .NET class which works fine for all other commands.
It seems ok to me.
At the moment, I've worked around this problem by writing the command to a temporary script (.ssc) and running the script.

Some scripting extension works in April 2020 caused this...

This works again:

curl --data 'code=core.quitStellarium();' http://localhost:8090/api/scripts/direct
