# HTTP Client
## Settings
```yaml
################################
##### HTTP CLIENT SETTINGS #####
################################
# Settings for OUTGOING http client connections used by GoToSocial to make
# requests to remote resources (status GETs, media GETs, inbox POSTs, etc).
http-client:
# Duration. Timeout to use for outgoing HTTP requests. If the timeout
# is exceeded, the connection to the remote server will be dropped.
# A value of 0s indicates no timeout: this is not advised!
# Examples: ["5s", "10s", "0s"]
# Default: "10s"
timeout: "10s"
########################################
#### RESERVED IP RANGE EXCEPTIONS ######
########################################
#
# Explicitly allow or block outgoing dialing within the provided IPv4/v6 CIDR ranges.
#
# By default, as a basic security precaution, GoToSocial blocks outgoing dialing within most "special-purpose"
# IP ranges. However, it may be desirable for admins with more exotic setups (proxies, funky NAT, etc) to
# explicitly override one or more of these otherwise blocked ranges.
#
# Each of the below allow/block config options accepts an array of IPv4 and/or IPv6 CIDR strings.
# For example, to override the hardcoded block of IPv4 and IPv6 dialing to localhost, set:
#
# allow-ips: ["127.0.0.1/32", "::1/128"].
#
# You can also use YAML multi-line arrays to define these, but be diligent with indentation.
#
# When dialing, GoToSocial will first check if the destination falls within explicitly allowed IP ranges,
# then explicitly blocked IP ranges, then the default (hardcoded) blocked IP ranges, returning OK on the
# first allowed match, not OK on the first blocked match, or just defaulting to OK if nothing is matched.
#
# As with all security settings, it is better to start too restrictive and then ease off depending on
# your use case, than to start too permissive and try to close the stable door after the horse has
# already bolted. With this in mind:
# - Don't touch these settings unless you have a good reason to, and only if you know what you're doing.
# - When adding explicitly allowed exceptions, use the narrowest possible CIDR for your use case.
#
# For reserved / special ranges, see:
# - https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml
# - https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv6-special-registry/iana-ipv6-special-registry.xhtml
#
# Both allow-ips and block-ips default to an empty array.
allow-ips: []
block-ips: []
# Bool. Disable verification of TLS certificates of remote servers.
# With this set to 'true', GoToSocial will not error when a remote
# server presents an invalid or self-signed certificate.
#
# THIS SETTING SHOULD BE USED FOR TESTING ONLY! IF YOU TURN THIS
# ON WHILE RUNNING IN PRODUCTION YOU ARE LEAVING YOUR SERVER WIDE
# OPEN TO MAN IN THE MIDDLE ATTACKS! DO NOT CHANGE THIS SETTING
# UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WHY YOU'RE DOING IT.
#
# Default: false
tls-insecure-skip-verify: false
# Bool. Sets outgoing queries to webfinger, host-meta and nodeinfo to use
# HTTP instead of HTTPS.
#
# THIS SETTING SHOULD BE USED FOR TESTING ONLY! DO NOT CHANGE THIS SETTING
# UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WHY YOU'RE DOING IT.
#
# Default: false
insecure-outgoing: false
