Confusion in documentation regarding HTTPS support in Akka HTTP

[Henrik Larsson]

Im trying to get a Akka HTTP client setup to use HTTPS and certificates. However, what I dont understand is the difference between HttpsContext and using SSL config as explained in http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/scala/http/client-side/client-https-support.html

Do i have to use both or do I use one or the other that is they do the same thing but in two different ways?

My guess right now is that they do the same thing but the part under SSL-Config sets up the system default HttpsContext, is this correct?

Yes, that's the case.

SSLConfig is merely a helper utility you can use to easily set up things. You can not use it if you don't want to.

Ok thanks, so far I have found this example wich i guess i can make work on the client side also https://github.com/rklaehn/akkahttpsserver/blob/master/src/main/scala/httpsserver/Server.scala
However I would like to send the key and crt separate and in the exampel they use p12. Is there any example on how to configure with a case like this?

[Konrad Malawski]

It's plain Java, configure the SSLContext as usual and provide it to the HttpsConnectionContext.

Nice thanks I got it working now! However is there a way to set HTTPS settings on the Http().singleRequest? The docs says it uses the default but i just want to set the HTTPS setting on this speficic request, all others should have another setting.

[Konrad Malawski]

Sure, explore it's parameters (HttpsConnectionContext) :-)

As documented:

* If an explicit [[ConnectionContext]] is given then it rather than the configured default [[ConnectionContext]] will be used
* for setting up the HTTPS connection pool, if the request is targeted towards an `https` endpoint.
