Perhaps you did not url-escape special characters in your password? I have also fixed the http/https inconsistencies. Thanks a lot for pointing that out.

It looks like it will be very useful for me. In the API documentation you sometimes write http:// instead of https:// which can be a security risk for those copying and pasting. e.g. > Login using email address and password > http://www.buxfer.com/api/login.xml?userid=john@doe.com&password=dohdoh Also, I am having trouble logging in with the login command. I have tried with an explicit @ and with the quoted %40. Am I missing something? I get > ERROR: The userid / password combination is invalid Even though I am sure they are correct. Thanks, Scott Nice site! It looks like it will be very useful for me.

In the API documentation you sometimes write http:// instead of https:// which can be a security risk for those copying and pasting.

e.g.

> Login using email address and password
> http://www.buxfer.com/api/login.xml?userid=john@doe.com&password=dohdoh

Also, I am having trouble logging in with the login command. I have tried with an explicit @ and with the quoted %40. Am I missing something? I get

> ERROR: The userid / password combination is invalid

Even though I am sure they are correct.

Thanks,
