Use default value for the ports until api is deployed

fix: provide all API URLs for automatic failover in endpoint rotation
Previously, when rotating API endpoints, only a single URL was provided to the HTTP client, defeating the purpose of having multiple URLs for resilience. Changes: - NymApiTopologyProvider now provides all URLs in rotated order when switching endpoints - NymApisClient similarly provides all URLs starting from the working endpoint - Added clarifying comments for broadcast/exhaustive query methods where single URLs are intentionally used - This enables the HTTP client's built-in failover mechanism while maintaining endpoint rotation behavior The fix ensures that if the primary endpoint fails, the client can automatically failover to alternative endpoints without manual intervention, improving overall network resilience.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Bogdan-Ștefan Neacşu	1898853263	Use default value for the ports until api is deployed	2025-09-04 11:42:11 +03:00
durch	4e5ccf7926	fix: provide all API URLs for automatic failover in endpoint rotation Previously, when rotating API endpoints, only a single URL was provided to the HTTP client, defeating the purpose of having multiple URLs for resilience. Changes: - NymApiTopologyProvider now provides all URLs in rotated order when switching endpoints - NymApisClient similarly provides all URLs starting from the working endpoint - Added clarifying comments for broadcast/exhaustive query methods where single URLs are intentionally used - This enables the HTTP client's built-in failover mechanism while maintaining endpoint rotation behavior The fix ensures that if the primary endpoint fails, the client can automatically failover to alternative endpoints without manual intervention, improving overall network resilience.	2025-08-29 13:37:45 +02:00
durch	0a8eb940bb	feat: complete migration to unified HTTP client and fix all compilation errors - Added missing NymApiClientExt trait methods (get_all_expanded_nodes, change_base_urls) - Fixed all compilation errors across the workspace - Updated nym-node to use unified client instead of deprecated NymApiClient - Fixed type conversions for RewardedSetResponse → EpochRewardedSet - Added nym-http-api-client dependency where needed - Updated all examples and documentation to use new client API	2025-08-29 13:36:22 +02:00
durch	34fb67602c	fix: resolve all compilation errors after NymApiClient migration - Add missing nym-http-api-client dependencies to multiple crates - Add NymApiClientExt trait imports where needed - Fix type mismatches from NymApiClient to unified Client - Add error conversions for NymAPIError in various error enums - Implement missing trait methods (get_current_rewarded_set, get_all_basic_nodes_with_metadata, get_all_described_nodes) - Fix type conversions for RewardedSetResponse in network monitor - Update all API client instantiation to use new unified HTTP client	2025-08-29 13:35:41 +02:00
durch	766ae8dd8e	feat: migrate NymApiClient usage to unified HTTP client - Wire up domain fronting configuration in NymNetworkDetails - Implement NymApiClientExt trait for base nym_http_api_client::Client - Migrate direct NymApiClient usage in multiple components: - nym-network-monitor - verloc measurements - connection tester - coconut/ecash client - validator rewarder - Add Copy derive to ApiUrlConst to enable iteration - Update error handling and Display implementations This enables automatic domain fronting for all Nym API calls via the configured CDN front hosts.	2025-08-29 13:33:37 +02:00
durch	bd1fd73ba0	feat: unify HTTP client creation and enable domain fronting Enhanced the base nym_http_api_client to reduce fragmentation and enable domain fronting: - Added SerializationFormat enum for explicit JSON/bincode choice (no auto-detection) - Added from_network() method to create clients from NymNetworkDetails with domain fronting - Added with_bincode() builder method for explicit serialization configuration - Set Accept header based on serialization preference - Added deprecation paths for NymApiClient wrapper and nym_api::Client re-export - Enabled domain fronting support via network defaults feature This is part of a broader effort to consolidate HTTP client implementations across the codebase, reducing ~500 lines of wrapper code and providing automatic domain fronting for censorship resistance.	2025-08-29 13:33:37 +02:00
