REST _replicate throws errro

Korrigan Clark encountered errors as doing replicator/continuous with REST API.

He built cblite tool with commit f1f28c2bad1d42e530d1e909cd75a0b0b2562216 (HEAD -> release/lithium, origin/release/lithium).
i start couchbase mobile lite tool cblite with: /tmp/couchbase-mobile-tools/cblite/build_cmake/cblite --create serve --port 4985 /tmp/couchbase-mobile-tools/db.cblite2
10:36
then i push a document in with: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"_id":"user1011632231655643464","channels":["channel-0"],"field1":"ok"}' http://172.23.97.250:4985/db/
10:37
then i try to start continuous push replication with: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '

{"source": "db", "target": "[ws://172.23.100.204:4984/db]", "continuous": "true", "user": "guest", "password": "guest"}

' http://172.23.97.250:4985/_replicate
10:37
