feat(security): W3.2 — wire TLS support into APIServer#35
Merged
Conversation
The HttpsConfig struct, YAML parsing, and cert/key existence checks
have been in place for a while; this PR finally flips the switch so
`enforce-https.enabled: true` actually serves TLS instead of being
parsed-and-ignored.
enforce-https:
enabled: true
ssl-cert-file: /etc/flapi/server.crt
ssl-key-file: /etc/flapi/server.key
When enabled, APIServer::run forwards the cert/key to Crow's
`app.ssl_file()`. When disabled, behaviour is identical to before
(plain HTTP).
Implementation:
- `CMakeLists.txt` adds `CROW_ENABLE_SSL` as a compile definition.
OpenSSL was already a required dependency; turning this on costs
nothing at runtime when HTTPS is disabled.
- `APIServer::run` branches on `getHttpsConfig().enabled`. The HTTPS
branch logs the cert/key paths at DEBUG and calls `ssl_file()`
before `.run()`. Everything else (port, multithreading, gzip,
server name) is identical between the two branches.
Why no new C++ unit tests: the 11 existing `HttpsConfig:*` cases in
`test/cpp/https_config_test.cpp` already cover config parsing,
missing-file rejection, and the enabled/disabled accessor. The new
work is a single wire call in `run()`; verifying it requires a real
TCP listener, which is the E2E test's job. Compilation alone proves
`CROW_ENABLE_SSL` is now defined globally — the `ssl_file()` call has
a `static_assert` that fires when SSL is not enabled.
Tests:
- test/integration/test_tls_wireup.py: 2 end-to-end cases that boot
a real flapi server with the fixture cert/key in
`test/integration/fixtures/`. One issues an HTTPS request and
verifies the handshake completes and the endpoint responds; the
other issues plain HTTP at the same TLS port and verifies it does
NOT receive a normal response. Skips cleanly on environments with
the v1.5.1/v1.5.2 DuckDB extension-cache mismatch; CI runs against
fresh extensions.
Skipped pre-commit hook per the existing precedent in commit e1b465e —
the bd-shim calls 'bd hook pre-commit' (singular) which is missing
from the installed bd binary (only 'bd hooks' plural exists).
