What api.insecure do exactly?

Traefik Traefik v2
4

@Idez, which version of Traefik you used?

I'm currently testing with version Traefik version 2.0.0 on Windows and I am not seeing the effect of the api insecure setting, here's the simple configuration I used to test:

traefik.toml

[entrypoints]

  [entrypoints.web]
    address = ":80"  

[providers]

  [providers.file]
    filename = "routers.toml"  
    watch = true    
          
[api]
  insecure = false
  
[log]
  level = "debug"
  filepath = "traefik.log"
  format = "common"

[accesslog]
  filepath = "access.log"
  format = "common"

routers.toml

[http]

  [http.routers]

    [http.routers.dashboard]
      rule = "host(`localhost`)"
      entrypoints = ["web"]
      service = "api@internal"

The /api/entrypoints path can still be requested with success on "http://locahost/api/entrypoints".

[{"address":":80","transport":{"lifeCycle":{"graceTimeOut":10000000000},"respondingTimeouts":{"idleTimeout":180000000000}},"forwardedHeaders":{},"name":"web"}]
