There might be something wrong with the code. I build the lastest code locally and run

btfs daemon

The output is like this

~/work/blockchain/go-btfs$ btfs daemon

And then I tried the command

`
btfs add try.txt

01:29:56.842 ERROR cmds/http: could not guess encoding from content type "text/html" parse.go:217
Error: unknown error content type: text/html
`

So weird. Any help?

@samohyes Hi, did you build release or master branch? It would be best to run the node according to https://docs.btfs.io/docs/btfs-demo documentation.

[samohyes]

Yeah. I am using the master branch. I just download the source code and build the binary using the script install_btfs.sh. I know the doc you are pointing to. It uses some prebuilt binary. But I actually want to change the source code and build it myself.

[tycm4109]

@samohyes Okay, I see. It's just that for us, the master branch is what we develop on. So we usually recommend users to use the stable release branch or pre-built binaries as its been tested many times. If you run into an issue on the release branch or pre-built binary, we can definitely log it for further bug fixing.

[samohyes]

I don't know why. I tried the binary and deleted the ~/.btfs dir. Then everything seems fine now. Thanks for the help.

[samohyes]

@tycm4109 emm, it looks like the problem is the 5001 port ui apis.
I am trying

`curl "http://localhost:5001/api/v0/id"

So the http apis fail me. And the btfs daemon outputs like this

@samohyes can you try to change the URL to be:
http://localhost:5001/api/v1/id
we have recently changed the api version to 1.

[samohyes]

@richlee33 Yeah. I tried again and the same thing happens. I can only use btfs add but no http api is working now.

curl "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/id"

[richlee33]

@samohyes it seems like there is an issue with your machine resolving "localhost". perhaps its a firewall or proxy issue.
can you try instead of localhost to use the following addresses:
http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v1/id
http://192.168.1.67:5001/api/v1/id
http://199.168.139.56:5001/api/v1/id
i gathered the ip addresses from the daemon output that was posted earlier.
thanks.

[samohyes]

@richlee33 Still not working.. So sad...

@samohyes That looks like a VPN configuration issue. Please try to turn off your VPN or bypass the local 127.0.0.1 domain. For more information: https://tinyurl.com/t8946pt

[samohyes]

Cool. Exactly. Thanks.
