• MRC goes SSL

    From StackFault@10:102/3 to All on Thursday, April 13, 2023 07:33:19
    Hi all!

    Just a quick update on MRC and the developments going on.

    I just pushed a new server code to production with the following:

    - SSL support introduced (on a distinct port to maintain compatibility)
    - /WHOON now shows the SSL status on the BBS (re SSL)
    - All server output format have been redone (/chatters, /whoon, etc)
    - Introduced placeholders for upcoming commands (REGISTER, IDENTIFY, UPDATE)
    - Redone the network threading engine
    - Many other small fixes and improvements for the upcoming new client

    Cheers!

    Can I assume SSL is just the transport, so enabling a SSL connection on the enig end should "just work"?

    Still compatible with 1.2.9.a once you update everything?

    Yes, that should work just like that. Port is +1 from plain.

    Everything else is the same.

    Still compatible with 1.2.9.a once you update everything?

    Everything is still backward compatible however, an upgrade will be more than welcome since it also fixes several issues with later versions of Mystic and the changes implemented.

    Just pushed the final touch, The Bottomless Abyss is now SSL connected with
    the changes made o the client side now.

    Cheers!

    Only reason I ask, the crappy mystic setup I have to run this one mpl I really didn't want to touch it. I have no idea what ver it is, nor do I want to screw with some crazy update to get it current.

    I guess my question should have been, will this version still work on Mystic from a year or so ago .... beta 45 (maybe it is?!?)

    If I can reassure you, I have a pipeline with a45, a46, a47 and a48 to make sure it works all across. Technically, you should be good to go.

    My main board is still on a45 (lot of work to xfer it, on the list of todo)
    and it works just fine.

    I'm also writing an upgrade guide as well, so it should be fairly straightforward.

    Cheers!

    That's cool ... as I don't use Mystic, nor want to, as you can tell my asking for a door. <G> The only way I can get MRC to run is have a full blown mystic setup running for one menu and one menu option to rlogin to so I can offer the service. :(

    I just didn't want to jump thru some crazy ass hoops to upgrade a bbs I don't use to run an mpl ... :)

    Good to know, thanks. Will be looking forward to the new release.

    ... Don't take criticism from just anybody.
