HTTPS

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Hey guys,

I’m stuck with a 99% done product on the whole HTTPS support thing.
The app I’m building communicates all the time with a web service and is authenticated by a token.
By design, the token can only be acquired through a HTTPS request with basic authentication.
I’ve tried every possible combination I could think of, but couldn’t get it to work…
Can you give an example on how this would work?

Oh, come on guys… Any help with this?

At least let me know if it is possible, at all, or should I go to the dirty workaround approach?
I really was expecting better support than this… I am asking the same question on the public forum, the API docs and here, and still not a single response? [import]uid: 11046 topic_id: 6030 reply_id: 21250[/import]

I wish I could help, sorry.

It’s pretty unfair to be “expecting better support” though. I mean, you asked on Friday and now it’s Monday. In other words, the entire span of time you waited was over the weekend. It would have been nice if another user happened to answer during that time, but the only expectation of support you should have is from Ansca during business hours.

If you still need help after a couple more days, email them directly. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 6030 reply_id: 21255[/import]

Did you get this fixed? I know they just updated one of the threads about https. It says that https is supported via the new async api.

In a similar position myself,

I don’t think they could be working any harder than they do,
but it would be nice to know if it is going to be in a daily drop soon,
so I can request access! [import]uid: 2131 topic_id: 6030 reply_id: 21257[/import]

Expanding on awamser’s post, the first sample code on this page uses HTTPS:

@jhocking: as I mentioned in my post, this is not the first place I ask this question. It’s up in the air for a while, now.

As far as the example goes, it doesn’t do me much good, since the URL used doesn’t require any authentication. [import]uid: 11046 topic_id: 6030 reply_id: 21269[/import]

Huh maybe this is why my twitter code wasn’t working on the access token step? I ended up pushing all of the work to the server side - but in my case that was easy since I am using a web popup for the authurl step anyway.

What exactly are you implementing? Could you benefit from having PHP(or whatever) request the access token?

edit: nvm I was using oauth - duh, might still apply though… [import]uid: 12822 topic_id: 6030 reply_id: 21671[/import]

@Yobonja: Having a web service getting the token for the app is one of the ideas we had as well, but I was trying to avoid that for a number of reasons.
But, it seems that this is the only way to do it for now and I do need to publish the app soon.

Thanks for confirming my idea, at least :slight_smile:
