setting up raxx for ssl

[CharlesOkwuagwu]

Thanks for this simple web server library.

Please can you give an example of how to setup raxx as a secure server, i.e. with ssl.
I have looked at your Elli and Cowboy adaptors, I cannot find where you handle https.

Hi,

I have not done this yet. It is on my too do list but I am working on supporting HTTP/2 as well. Still at the stage of proving that the raxx interface can handle all the usecases I need it for. After that the top priority is probably ssl.

I don't know your level but if you fancy tackling this yourself I am very happy to give you any clarification about the code that does exist

[CharlesOkwuagwu]

Thanks for the quick response.

I'll take a closer look at how you enabled http: and tcp: for cowboy, then compare against Plug's cowboy adapter implementation for https:

If I make any headway, i'll send a PR

[CrowdHailer]

Awesome. You are the first person to show up interested 👍

I hope the cowboy adapter is up to date. I have been making most recent changes against the Ace Adapter. If you have any trouble setting up just HTTP with the cowboy adapter let me know because that should be a quick fix.

[CharlesOkwuagwu]

Nope, no luck setting up the cowboy example with the current version of cowboy: 1.1.2

The Elli setup on the other hand was really easy out of the box

[CrowdHailer]

Alright will check that out this evening.

This can no longer be hardcoded as "http"

I am unable to find out how to pull the scheme off the elli_request

[CrowdHailer]

@CharlesOkwuagwu just pushed a patch version of :raxx_cowboy that uses the latest version of raxx and cowboy. Small tweets to the example and it now appears to be working

Glad the elli adapter was easy. I think that better README's for the adapters are probably the most useful piece of documentation for me to get started on

[CharlesOkwuagwu]

I have Elli working with SSL :)

See this gist: https://gist.github.com/CharlesOkwuagwu/1eedf9eb5e3a212b51b658be78e6abf3

[CharlesOkwuagwu]

Also for consistency, can you make the cowboy example Supervised like the elli example.

mix new raxx_cowboy_demo --sup

Unable to modify it to be properly supervised.

[CrowdHailer]

Thanks for the gist that is great. If you want to create a whole project in the examples directory called elli_ssh or something that would be cool. That examples directory is a bit of a grab bag at the moment but it can be cleaned up later on

[CrowdHailer]

switching cowboy adapter so it can be used under a supervision tree. #31
includes some notes about how it might be done

[CrowdHailer]

Hi @CharlesOkwuagwu Does the release of raxx_cowboy 0.2.0 Handle your reason for opening this issue? If so I can close it.

I have also opened a new issue for documentation issue for setting up raxx and cowboy #34

[CharlesOkwuagwu]

yes we can close this. The changes we made in 0.2.0 seem adequate for now.
