- Postman working fine hitting (our instance of) Discourse API locally (localhost:3000).
- Remote (https://) Discourse API from **Ruby** works fine, e.g.:. `post("/groups/#{group}/notifications?user_id=#{user_id}&notification_level=#{notification_level}") `
- But when we point Postman to our remote https:// site, it seems to return the login screen (below).
- Note: We are using Memberful authentication on the remote site, and not the local site, but again that does not seem to affect Ruby’s access to the same, remote https:// site’s API.
