[whispersystems] Webrtc and https

[drakula 84]

Hi All

Two questions:

1. Webrtc: it seems webrtc components are already used in TS (and probably
in Signal iOS). I just trying to understand the reason why not to use the
entire webrtc lib? Would it not simplify a lot of things? And the video
would be easier to add as well? DTLS, etc. as well. I am sure people
already thought about it.. so I am trying to get educated on the reasons.

2. https: if I want to disable https and talk http on my app so that I can
take a look at my transactions using wireshark etc. for experimental
purposes, how can I disable https in the app? Changing the url from https
to http in the build.gradle causes a crash on PushServiceSocket.java:593.
Is there an easy way to do this from some top level application side?

Thanks!

I'm a little late on this, but if you're ever looking to peak into https
traffic again, this worked for me on another app:
https://mitmproxy.org/

Then again, OWS tends to use their own pinned certs, so you might need to
recompile with that disabled -- not sure.

Cheers!
