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.
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:
export HTTPS_PROXY="http://1.2.3.4:5678"
toot login --instance mastodon.social
NB: This feature is provided by requests 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
