[Solved] Browser access disabled due to security vulnerability. Use Sia-UI or siac.

    Hi, guys!

    I've run and synchronized the siad under Linux. But I can't do anything else. Then I run siad with any command, I see the same message: "Bla-bla-bla. Browser access disabled due to security vulnerability. Use Sia-UI or siac."

    For example:
    $ siac wallet init
    Error when encrypting wallet: Browser access disabled due to security vulnerability. Use Sia-UI or siac.

    $ siac consensus
    Could not get current consensus state: Browser access disabled due to security vulnerability. Use Sia-UI or siac.

    And so on.

    What I have to do, I have no idea???

    Can you stop the siad daemon and run this command : nc -l -p 9980
    Then open an other terminal and try again with siac wallet init.
    You should see some text on the first terminal, could you put it here ?

    I've done it. Result was:

    POST /wallet/init HTTP/1.1
    Host: localhost:9980
    User-Agent: Sia-Agent
    Content-Length: 18
    Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    Accept-Encoding: gzip

    Now I know the problem, thank you so much!

    It was in an agent string option.

    I had changed the agent for siad for security reason: /home/sia/bin/siad -M gctwh --agent FM01 -d /home/sia/data

    Now I know, it was a mistake!

    But what may be the good reason(-s) for changing the agent string option?

    Honestly I don't know since the siad API works only with this user-agent
