REST result could not be parsed as JSON #76
Description
Hey Phil, been a bit! Hope all is well!
Ran into an interesting issue recently, and thought I'd bring it to your attention, in case you've seen (or haven't seen) it before. My HA config has no other REST sensors, but my logs are filling up with the following:

Also, here's the current config for one of the sensors:
- platform: rest
resource: !secret had-jabba-ha
authentication: basic
username: !secret had-jabba-user
password: !secret had-jabba-pass
name: Home-Assistant
json_attributes:
- status
value_template: '{{ value_json.state }}'
timeout: 30As you can see, I'm simply making a REST call, to the endpoint matching "http://x.x.x.x:8126/container/foobar", passing some basic auth, defined in the docker-config, then parsing out the 'status' line from the JSON output, and using it as a sensor, to tell me the state of the container (without the ability to turn on/off the container, read-only essentially).
But the logs indicate that it can't seem to parse the JSON; but if I load up the same URL, with basic auth u/p in something like postman, to returns a 200 code, followed by JSON output. Which has me confused.
Any idea what might be going on here?
Cheers!
