How secure is HTTPService if I were to send API keys and potentially confidential information as a JSON through HttpService:PostASync()?
From what I understand, Https means that your traffic is encrypted via SSL certs, whereas HTTP traffic could potentially be intercepted and read.
As you already said, there are differences between HTTPS and HTTP, https is encoded and http isn’t.
And I don’t think that there is a big difference between “Roblox Httpservice” and “real” http. It works the same way and if you want to do research about how safe http is then you should watch a video on youtube or research on the internet about how secure http really is.
So the question isn’t really httpservice the question is general: how safe is traffic sent through http
Yeah, before posting this question, I read from a dated devforum post that ‘HTTP’ requests sent by ROBLOX Servers were unlikely to be intercepted’
It brought me to this question as I had an error from HttpsService saying http was the only available method, hence why I questioned its security.
However, I saw under HttpsService that https is also allowed, and so I just went with it anyways lol.
No Idea where the ‘http’ is the only available protocol error came from, (perhaps from an unpublished place?). But all’s well since I published the place and it’s currently using https.
On the API reference it says that https is possible and you should use it if you can, this means if the Api that you are using supports https or something like that. The error that you had probably comes from that, you tried to use an Api which only uses http, that is the only explonation that I have.
