Cannot connect to hydraserver using RemoteJSONConnection

[robhoney]

The RemoteJSONConnection example does not seem to work. I have tried both the version from pip and using the latest version (updated yesterday). Trying this:

import hydra_client as hc

hb_conn = hc.RemoteJSONConnection(url='http://localhost:8080/json')

hb_conn.login(username='root', password='')

gives me this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "base.py", line 19, in
hb_conn.login(username='root', password='')
File "C:\Users\honeywillrs\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\hydra_client\connection\remote_json_connection.py", line 112, in login
resp = self.call('login', login_params)
File "C:\Users\honeywillrs\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\hydra_client\connection\remote_json_connection.py", line 93, in call
raise RequestError(err)
hydra_client.exception.RequestError: {'message': "Client.AuthenticationError:Invalid authentication request for HydraError({'message': b'root', 'code': '0000'})", 'code': '200'}>

This was using Windows 10 and installed hydraserver via pip.
