This pull request establishes support for SSL/TLS endpoints to RethinkDB Server (and consequently permits connections to compose.io).
However, the new SSL/TLS features in the C# driver require a commercial subscription license for use. The subscription cost is $8.00 per month. Licenses can be purchased here: https://www.bitarmory.com/payments/rethinkdb
The SSL/TLS features are locked until a licenseTo and licenseKey are supplied:
var conn = R.Connection()
.Hostname("ssl.server.com")
.EnableSsl(
new SslContext{ .... },
licenseTo: "Some Company",
licenseKey: "encrypted_key"
)
licenseKeys are emailed after a subscription has been purchased at the link above. Additionally, revoked or terminated subscriptions can be blocked from future NuGet updates, so there's an incentive to keep the subscription on-going.
I decided to license the SSL/TLS code under a commercial license for a few reasons:
It gives me an incentive to continue providing ongoing maintenance:
To give assurance to corporate users that someone will be around to maintain the C# driver for the foreseeable future.
Additionally, the RethinkDB binaries are now digitally signed with a strong name to cover scenarios in large corporate environments that have policies of running only signed assemblies.
