Bridge example not working on new Yun

Just picked up a Yun and tried various examples.
Blink and Fade worked.
Bridge and Yun Serial Terminal did not work.

Found that I needed to upgrade to OpenWrt-Yun 1.5.0 -- which I did...

Now terminal example works, but Bridge still doesn't work.

It starts up, lights the LED on pin 13 and it stays lit forever -- -meaning Bridge.begin never returns.

Any suggestions?

Also -- I'm running 1.5.8 beta version of the IDE

I'll partially answer my own question.

I'm sure I read that the led would come on for a couple seconds while bridge initialized and then go off.
But the code actually turns the LED off before Bridge.begin, then turns it on after -- so it stays on once initialized.

I changed the example code so that it blinks the LED 3 times -- going off the third time means Bridge.begin finished.

Great.
Now going to :
http://arduino1.local/arduino/digital/13

returns nothing to a browser, nor curl

http://arduino1.local/arduino/digital/13/1 does not set the LED on.

Ah!
Turned off password for REST api and it worked!

I'll figure out how to have a password at some point...
