HTTP instead of HTTPS? #147

Closed MarkoSchuetz closed 1 year ago

MarkoSchuetz commented 1 year ago

I have a scenario where I want to use screego with two machines that are on the same router, none of them has their own domain name. So, I was using OpenSSL to generate key and certificate. But the browser that I have to use on one of the machines does not allow me to accept the self signed certificate. Is there a way to use HTTP instead of HTTPS?

In theory, yes. But it's not that easy because browsers block the screen capture api on insecure http connections. This security feature is disabled for localhost, so you could proxy screego to localhost on both machines.
