I'm trying to download from Edx, But I can't make the login. For example when I put : python edx-dl.py -u XXXXXX -p XXXXX --list-courses. or other command line, it shows the above error.

Made some progress by changing the lines

• edx-dl/edx_dl/edx_dl.py

  Line 99 in 265718c

  EDX_HOMEPAGE = BASE_URL + '/login_ajax'

• edx-dl/edx_dl/edx_dl.py

  Line 121 in 265718c

  EDX_HOMEPAGE = BASE_URL + '/login_ajax'

  
  to

EDX_HOMEPAGE = BASE_URL + '/user_api/v1/account/login_session'

Now I get the list of courses

edx-dl -u "[email protected]" --list-courses
