[Chimera-users] Help: 'broken pipe' error

Hi, Mungo.

I tried using the RESTserver on a recent daily build, and it opening 
4zhp worked fine.  Since RESTserver hasn't changed in a very long time, 
I suspect the results would be the same with 1.13.

The way I tested it is to start the RESTserver in Chimera, and then go 
to a browser to visit "http://localhost:PORT/static/cmdline.html" where 
PORT is the port number reported in the Reply Log.  A form is displayed 
in the browser and I type in "open cifID:4zhp", which runs the command 
and displays Chimera messages in the browser rather than the Reply Log.

I did notice that your tests show messages like:

> 127.0.0.1 - - [01/Feb/2019 10:32:03] "GET /run?command=list%20residues%20spec%20%230 HTTP/1.1" 200 -

whereas mine show:

> 127.0.0.1 - - [04/Feb/2019 12:02:46] "POST /run HTTP/1.1" 200 -

That looks to me like you are sending requests using http GET, whereas 
my tests are using POST.  It /shouldn't/ make any difference, but would 
it be possible for you to test using POST to send requests to Chimera 
instead of GET?
