|
|
Disabling HTTPS
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may pass the `--disable-https` flag to use unencrypted HTTP instead of
|
||
|
|
HTTPS for a given instance. This is inherently insecure and should be used only
|
||
|
|
when connecting to local development instances.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
toot login --disable-https --instance localhost:8080
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using proxies
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can configure proxies by setting the `HTTPS_PROXY` or `HTTP_PROXY`
|
||
|
|
environment variables. This will cause all http(s) requests to be proxied
|
||
|
|
through the specified server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://1.2.3.4:5678"
|
||
|
|
toot login --instance mastodon.social
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**NB:** This feature is provided by
|
||
|
|
[requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#proxies>)
|
||
|
|
and setting the environment variable will affect other programs using this
|
||
|
|
library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This environment can be set for a single call to toot by prefixing the command
|
||
|
|
with the environment variable:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
HTTPS_PROXY="http://1.2.3.4:5678" toot login --instance mastodon.social
|
||
|
|
```
