ipfshttpclient.exceptions.StatusError: HTTPError: 405 Client Error: Method Not Allowed for url: http+ip4://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v0/version?stream-channels=true

ipfs version 0.5.1 ipfshttpclient-0.4.13.2

---

Ipfs is already running on the background using (nohup ipfs daemon &). Afterwards I tried to obtain already connected ipfs’s client.

$ ipfs config Addresses
{
  "API": "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001",
  "Announce": [],
  "Gateway": "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/8080",
  "NoAnnounce": [],
  "Swarm": [
    "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4001",
    "/ip6/::/tcp/4001"
  ]
}

---

import ipfshttpclient

client = ipfshttpclient.connect('/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001/http')

=> What may be the reason of this error? How could I fix it?

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Should be fixed in 0.6.0

[xapillox]

go-ipfs daemon version and ipfshttpclient version should be same e.g v0.8.0 or v0.6.0.
