you have to specifically enable SSL. and when you do that, you MUST use SSL. also when you do that, I believe you MUST EITHER create your own self-signed cert or you must purchase a signed cert. I dont believe the NRS version comes with the old 2008 SSL cert it used to come with
look in wiki howto for guide on certs
thanks for the hint - I created a cert according to the wiki, but the most pat is for running a node yourself and how to set up NRS to ACCEPT connections.
So now I am trying to get my requests(POST) to use the cert to connect to the testnet -
I'll keep tryingsorry guys - I am not getting anywhere. is the testnet API connect running on port 6876?
do I have to use a local cert that I supply in my local nxtClient folder?
I don't want to clog up the main thread, so I'll try to posting here - maybe some of you other client devs can give me a few hints:
Am I correct with assuming that to connect with the testnet, I have to use and port 6876 ? as in my local net it is
http://192.168.178.24:7876/ , but what confuses me is that in the local net it is
http - surely that is set in the conf file, and a node open to the net will not
use http - but then again I am stuck with the problem of constructing proper POST requests. Does my requests lib have to provide a user cert? There are hooks for that in the lib..
seems most of my issues were related to the testnet - debugging can also be often a learning experience - unpleasant, but now pain no gain
