[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-3811) HTTPS Support for C++ applications

["James E. King, III (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3811?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15347634#comment-15347634 ] 

James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-3811:
--------------------------------------------

It looks like I provided you with some bad guidance initially.  THttpServer is a transport built on a socket, not a server.  The name is misleading and really should be changed.

I believe what you want to do is create a TSSLServerSocket as you have in https_server.cpp, and then create a TServer variant (TSimpleServer, TThreadedServer, etc..) using the THttpServerTransportFactory for the input and output factory, the sslSocket transport, and the TProcessor of your choice, and then call serve().  This will allow you to create a TLS endpoint that accepts connections and communicates using HTTP protocol, so essentially HTTPS.

On the client side you want to use a TSSLSocket, then create a THttpClient transport using that socket, then create a service client using that transport.

Thanks,

Jim
