HTTPS support for EOS 🎉

in #eos6 years ago

https eos

A long awaited feature has now been implemented in the EOS IO Software, HTTPS support is now available using the command line tool (cleos) and the wallet node (keosd).

Why HTTPS?

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of the HTTP protocol. This allows the user (client) to send data packets between their browser (client) to a website (server) in a secure way. All communication messages between the client and server are now encrypted via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Scholar Testnet uses HTTPS

From day one of starting the Scholar Testnet, each block producer were required to host their producing nodes over SSL (most of them using LetsEncrypt). Having this requirement caused a few backend troubles since the EOS IO software did not support HTTPS at the time... until now.

Block Producers using HTTPS

We are happy to present the following Block Producers which are currently producing blocks on the ScholarTesnet over HTTPS.
