RPCError: Bad Cast:Invalid cast from type 'array_type' to Object

[ptrio42]

Expected behavior

Once the account_create operation is called an appropriate STEEM amount should be burned and a corresponding account should be created.

Actual behavior

A Bad Cast:Invalid cast from type 'array_type' to Object error is raised.

How to reproduce

Sample code:

steem.api.setOptions({ url: 'https://api.steem.house' });

var newAccountName = 'blaney',
    newAccountWif = steem.formatter.createSuggestedPassword(),
    publicKeys = steem.auth.generateKeys(newAccountName, newAccountWif, ['owner', 'active', 'posting', 'memo']);

steem.broadcast.accountCreate(
    '...', // ownerWif
    '3.000 STEEM', // fee
    'piotr42', // creator
    newAccountName, // newAccountName
    { weight_threshold: 1, account_auths: [], key_auths: [[publicKeys.owner, 1]] }, // owner
    { weight_threshold: 1, account_auths: [], key_auths: [[publicKeys.active, 1]] }, // active
    { weight_threshold: 1, account_auths: [], key_auths: [[publicKeys.posting, 1]] }, // posting
    publicKeys.memo, // memo
    '', // jsonMetadata
    function(err, response) {
        console.log(err, response);
});

Does it work when you run JSON.stringify on the owner, active, and posting authorities?

Thanks for the suggestion @Smittyvb. Unfortunately it does not work that way either.
