Hi,

Which tag are you on?

v1.0.0 should have support for TLS in http_download_client:

https://github.com/NordicPlayground/fw-nrfconnect-nrf/blob/v1.0.0/subsys/net/lib/download_client/src/http_download_client.c#L103

Kind regards,

Håkon

In file http_download_client.c, the function resolve_and_connect() has this comment:

/** TODO:
* Need to set security setting for HTTPS.
*/
rc = connect(fd, remoteaddr, addrlen);

The comments indicates that HTTPS support is incomplete and the code does not look like its fully using HTTPS. Can you confirm that the download client actually does HTTPS?

Thanks

Hi,

[quote user=""]I'm trying to use the nRF9160 to make an HTTPS connection to a REST server. Is HTTPS supported? If yes, how to enable / configure HTTPS and are there any example projects? If no, then are there plans for httos support?[/quote]

We have a limited support for http(s) via the download_client:

http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/include/net/download_client.html?highlight=https

Its aimed at downloading files, and there's no explicit sample that shows how to use https directly, unfortunately, and in addition, you'll need to manually provision certificates.

Kind regards,

Håkon
