is there a way to block using standard non-ssl ports in ktor using embeddedServer?

What do you mean by block?

[Deactivated User]

Shouldn’t be no difference between standard ports and non standard ones

[Dias]

as in by default it listens to http, but I only want to allow https traffic coming in

applicationEngineEnvironment works for you?

[Dias]

I will have to parse all configs myself then, rather than using commandLineEnvironment()

[Dias]

that's not a big problem, just wanted to check if I can opt out of using standard ports

[Deactivated User]

I’d suggest you to not use embeddedServer but a plain DevelopmentEngine and define stuff in the application.conf

[Deactivated User]

with embeddedServer you can specify a port and a host to bind

[Dias]

I cannot push that to production tho

[Deactivated User]

but if you use the applicationEngineEnvironment function there is no default connectors I think

[Deactivated User]

why cannot push that to production?

[Dias]

actually while we on that, what's the purpose of DevelopmentEngine if I cannot push it to prod?

[Dias]

I thought it's only for Development

[Deactivated User]

nope, that’s misleading

[Dias]

no optimized and all that

[Deactivated User]

it is the same code

[Dias]

hmmmm, that's very misleading then 🙂

[Deactivated User]

yep, agree

oh my, now some parts of the docs make sense

[Dias]
