Some guidance to help others stuck on initial foothold, to add to some of the hints already noted:
- If you have worked out what’s going on and have issues with the common everyday tool, try alternatives. I had to use compiled CLI tools to proceed and obtain more info. I figured out what was going on early-ish but wasted too way much time after thinking i was off as the tool was failing (wasn’t negotiating as i expected). I confirmed it worked perfectly on other similar sample sites already out there, so not sure.
