Exception trying to perform any query

[BrianL-STCU]

After following the Getting Started instruction, SeqCli was giving me an error (likely because we require authentication):

The command failed: 401 - Please log in.
Seq.Api.Client.SeqApiException: 401 - Please log in.

After creating an API key token and manually putting it in $home\SeqCli.json, I get:

The command failed: 500 - An unhandled error occurred while serving the request (token: ████████████████████████████████).

Ah, thank you for the report, Brian.

I believe this is a regression due to us updating seqcli to use version 5 of Seq.Api.dll - I think I can spot the issue over there, I'll try modifying the new version of the assembly so that the old IsRestricted value isn't sent except when non-default.
