/common_page/login.html returns 404 on newer connect box versions; new REST-based API

[ShadowJonathan]

I have a ziggo connect box, which after a while has stopped working properly.

Debugging it from my remote home assistant installation, I stumbled across some weird data while debugging;

In [2]: from connect_box import ConnectBox
In [3]: import aiohttp
In [4]: async def create():
   ...:     session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
   ...:     return ConnectBox(session, "[REDACTED]", "192.168.178.1")
   ...:

In [5]: import logging

In [6]: logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

In [7]: box = await create()

In [9]: await box.async_initialize_token()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    504 async def async_initialize_token(self) -> None:
    505     """Get the token first."""
--> 506     await self._async_initialize_valid_token()
    507     await self._async_do_login_with_password(CMD_LOGIN)

    513     async with self._session.get(
    514         f"http://{self.host}/common_page/login.html",
    515         headers=self.headers,
    516         timeout=10,
    517     ) as response:
    518         await response.read()
--> 519         self.token = response.cookies["sessionToken"].value
    521 except (asyncio.TimeoutError, aiohttp.ClientError) as err:
    522     _LOGGER.error("Can not load login page from %s: %s", self.host, err)

KeyError: 'sessionToken'

In [10]: async with box._session.get(
    ...:                 f"http://{box.host}/common_page/login.html",
    ...:                 headers=box.headers,
    ...:                 timeout=10,
    ...:             ) as response:
    ...:                 await response.read()
    ...:                 r = response
    ...:

In [11]: r
Out[11]:
<ClientResponse(http://192.168.178.1/common_page/login.html) [404 Not Found]>
<CIMultiDictProxy('Content-Type': 'text/html', 'Content-Length': '341', 'Date': 'Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:14:51 GMT', 'Server': 'lighttpd/1.4.63')>

It returns a 404, which I hadn't seen before.

curl confirms this, with it 404ing on the login sub-page, while it returns a whole new page on /

This is the login page i'm getting, after a spinner;

In "administration", and the information section, i get the following;

Connectbox seems to have switched to a REST-based API, I see the following API calls;
