TypeError: Cannot read property 'username' of undefined

[decentral1se]

When I run curl -X POST -d '{"username": "foo", "password": "bar"}' https://myhomebase.foo/v1/accounts/login and with the following .homebase.yml configuration:

webapi:
  domain: myhomebase.foo
  username: foo
  password: bar

I keep receiving a HTTP 500 and seeing TypeError: Cannot read property 'username' of undefined.

I'm on homebase 2.0.8.

Seems like the relevant check is:

Something wrong with my request format? Seems like req.body.username blows up.

Code should probably check if req.body is a non-null object so that it gives a better error message. Not sure why your request is failing, maybe the content-type header is wrong?

Aha, I see, I'll try with the correct headers.

I'll leave this open to track better error messages.
