Mediasoup requires SSL even in localhost?


I'm developing a project using mediasoup, in all examples server is running under ssl, even in localhost is this required? I guess certificate is for remote peers can use media resourses, but browsers allow consume media resourses in http://localhost


Solution

  • You can sniff plain text passwords being sent across loopback without encryption. So yes, encryption is still required for localhost access.
