Allow Delta Chat core to work with chatmail servers running on underscore-prefixed domains (e.g. _alice.localchat) which use self-signed TLS certificates. This is mirroring related work on chatmail relays: https://github.com/chatmail/relay/pull/855 Underscore domains with self-signed TLS certs can be used by LXC test containers where obtaining real certificates is not practical. When the domain starts with '_', certificate verification is automatically relaxed for IMAP/SMTP connections, dcaccount QR code handling, and iroh relay endpoints. The Python test suite is adapted to also work against such underscore-domain servers, including cross-core tests with older Delta Chat versions. Note: this PR does not support HTTPS requests with underscore domains. They are not currently needed for working with LXC test containers. 14 files changed, +102/-31 lines (excluding Cargo.lock). Cargo.lock: +606/-11 lines from enabling iroh features needed for connecting to iroh relay endpoint on underscore domains. The added dependencies are unfortunate but best considered when finally upgrading to iroh 1.0 (tm).
Delta Chat RPC python client
RPC client connects to standalone Delta Chat RPC server deltachat-rpc-server
and provides asynchronous interface to it.
rpc.start() performs a health-check RPC call to verify the server
started successfully and will raise an error if startup fails
(e.g. if the accounts directory could not be used).
Getting started
To use Delta Chat RPC client, first build a deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server
or download a prebuilt release.
Install it anywhere in your PATH.
Create a virtual environment if you don't have one already and activate it.
$ python -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate
Install deltachat-rpc-client from source:
$ cd deltachat-rpc-client
$ pip install .
Testing
- Build
deltachat-rpc-serverwithcargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server. - Install tox
pip install -U tox - Run
CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=nine.testrun.org PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" tox.
Additional arguments to tox are passed to pytest, e.g. tox -- -s does not capture test output.
Activating current checkout of deltachat-rpc-client and -server for development
Go to root repository directory and run:
$ scripts/make-rpc-testenv.sh
$ source venv/bin/activate
Using in REPL
Setup a development environment:
$ tox --devenv env
$ . env/bin/activate
$ python
>>> from deltachat_rpc_client import *
>>> rpc = Rpc()
>>> rpc.start()
>>> dc = DeltaChat(rpc)
>>> system_info = dc.get_system_info()
>>> system_info["level"]
'awesome'
>>> rpc.close()
