12/29/2020, 5:39 AMnot as far as I know; restli all the way down lol. Works well enough for JS/Java. Any particular motivation behind needing RPCs?

12/29/2020, 4:47 PMIn addition Rest.li open source doesn't seem to support secure communications (TLS / SSL rpc)

01/02/2021, 7:55 PMYeah... that's pretty bad. But migrating off restli is going to be non trivial. I guess LI has its own authentication internally and so the OS version has fallen behind... 😕

01/02/2021, 7:57 PMThough that issue isn't super clear to me. Is it not a restli issue but a netty one? ssheng seems to indicate is possible in their comment to set this up

01/03/2021, 5:05 PMGood news: Seems like they actually have added support to their Netty server wrapper https://github.com/linkedin/rest.li/blob/bda98704c4cbfd940a41c5519deee0837124736e/[…]java/com/linkedin/r2/transport/http/server/HttpNettyServer.java

01/03/2021, 5:05 PMGoing to confirm

01/03/2021, 5:07 PMThe problem seems to be: Rest.li has wrappers responsible for convenient initialization of these server / servlets and if they dont expose SSL config options the client will have to figure out how to plugin their own impl of
