influxdb: 404 Error on http://localhost:8086/query with version 0.13

Bug report

System info: InfluxDB 0.13, CentOS 6.8

Steps to reproduce:

Just trying to do a simple curl -get and am getting a 404. Here’s the curl I’m trying: curl -GET 'http://localhost:8086/query' --data-urlencode "db=mydb" --data-urlencode "q=SELECT * FROM points"
This same query works fine on the web admin webpage.

Expected behavior: JSON output from mydb showing all data points

Actual behavior: 404 page not found

Further; http://localhost:8086/ping works fine.

[root@local ~]# curl http://localhost:8086/ping
{"status":"ok"}

I’m fairly confident I’m talking to InfluxDB based on the ping status:
[root@local ~]# curl http://localhost:8086/ping
{"status":"ok"}

That’s not InfluxDB. Current master, and as far back as I can remember, always returned a 204 (No Content) without a body.

$ curl  -vvv http://localhost:8086/ping
