Hi all -

I'm curious if there's something specific that needs to be modified in
the configuration to access the admin API (based on the docs,
localhost:8089?). When I try to use curl to talk with it, I'm getting
a 'connection refused' error message.

curl -vvv -s -F password="admin" "http://localhost:8089/users/admin/login"
15:34:54.781124 [0-x] * [READ] client_reset, clear readers

15:34:54.781754 [0-0] * closing connection #0

Any suggestions or thoughts for what to try?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best,
Bridger

For posterity, in the unpacked ZIP:
archivesspace/proxy-config/default.conf

Uncomment the sections for `location /staff/api` and `location /oai`

Best,
Bridger
