Sabnzbd and https newzbin?

Post by d1910 »

Hello,

I use https (https:\\www.newzbin.com) for all my rss feeds to newzbin in sabnzbd but I was thinking that you don't for the name/password login or
perhaps for some other parts where you access newzbin.

Basically what I want to know is if sabnzbd always use 100% https when accessing newzbin.

Thanks for a great program!

If you're on Windows or main-stream Unix/Linux: yes it always does.

If you're on some non-mainstream Unix/Linux platform: yes if you have SSL support in Python.

Do note that we do not check newzbin's SSL certificate. So, theoretically you could be
caught by a man-in-the-middle attack.
However, that would take extreme effort, which is not worth it just to get your
newzbin account.
