Is the flag -testing__insecure_http just for testing?

[triatic]

Thanks for dnss, very useful!

I use the flag -testing__insecure_http because dnss sits behind encrypted Apache, so I do not need dnss to use encryption.

Is the flag -testing__insecure_http ok to use in this scenario, i.e. not just for "testing"?

Thank you!

Yes, in that scenario it is ok. The only thing the flag does is make dnss listen on http instead of https.

That use case is quite reasonable, so maybe I should rename the flag to just --insecure_http or similar. I'll leave this open to track that feature request.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Yes, --insecure_http or something else without "testing" seems more appropriate as this is a very useful option for reverse proxy usage behind a secure server and not just for testing.

Commit 90210b7a8, currently in the next branch, implements this.

The flag is renamed to insecure_http_server.

I'll move it to the master branch in a few days, assuming there are no issues.

Thanks again!

Commit 90210b7 is now in master, so this should be fixed.

Thanks for reporting this!

No problem. I've just downloaded it and I'm using the new flag name. 👍
