Description

Error

I just downloaded the 6.0.0.1 version of AWB since the older version doesn't work with Wikia anymore due to a TLS upgrade. But now I get the following error:

Exception:	`ApiErrorException`
Message:	`API returned the following error: 'The login module requires a POST request'`

Impact

I can't use AWB at all, if I can't login.

Notes

I tried changing the url to custom and typing tibia.wikia.com, but to no avail.

Ok, I found the way how to fix this: choose "https" and not "http" in Options -> Preferences -> site. This might help other people with the same issue.
