What it does

Horse Ssl Tls is an agent skill from HashLoad/horse. Guide to enabling SSL/TLS, configuring HTTPS, handling certificates, and securing transport layers.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security. The repository describes itself as: Fast, opinionated, minimalist web framework for Delphi. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Security work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/horse-ssl-tls”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Native HTTPS with HTTP.sys (Windows Kernel-Mode)
  2. SSL/TLS with OverbyteICS Provider (ICS)
  3. SSL/TLS with CrossSocket Provider
  4. Best Practices for HTTPS

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4351a5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are pascal and cmd).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Horse Ssl Tls loads about 841 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~841

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Guide to enabling SSL/TLS, configuring HTTPS, handling certificates, and securing transport layers.

Horse SSL / TLS (HTTPS)

In production environments, always encrypt data in transit using SSL/TLS. Depending on the transport provider you select, the configuration for HTTPS differs.


1. Native HTTPS with HTTP.sys (Windows Kernel-Mode)

When using the native Horse.Provider.HTTPsys provider on Windows, the SSL handshake is handled entirely by the operating system kernel.

Step 1: Bind SSL Cert in Windows

You do not configure certificates inside your Delphi code. Instead, bind your SSL certificate (using its thumbprint) to the target port using the Windows command line tool netsh (requires Administrator privileges):

cmd
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash=YOUR_CERT_THUMBPRINT appid={YOUR-APP-GUID}
Step 2: Configure HTTP.sys in Delphi

Just start the Horse server normally. HTTP.sys will route HTTPS traffic on the bound port to your application automatically:

pascal
program SecureAPI;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  Horse,
  Horse.Provider.HTTPsys;

begin
  THorse.Get('/ping',
    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
    begin
      Res.Send('pong');
    end);

  // Starts the server. HTTP.sys routes both HTTP/HTTPS automatically depending on OS bindings.
  THorse.Listen(443);
end.

2. SSL/TLS with OverbyteICS Provider (ICS)

The horse-provider-ics provider handles OpenSSL 1.1.1 / 3.x / 4.x directly within the application process.

Configuration

Load your certificate .pem or .crt files and private key files during initialization:

pascal
uses
  Horse,
  Horse.Provider.ICS;

begin
  // Set up SSL certificate paths and properties fluently
  THorse.Provider.ICS.SSLSecured := True;
  THorse.Provider.ICS.SSLCertFile := 'C:\certs\server.crt';
  THorse.Provider.ICS.SSLPrivateKeyFile := 'C:\certs\server.key';
  THorse.Provider.ICS.SSLPassword := 'my_private_key_password';
  
  // Optionally enable Server-side Mutual TLS (mTLS)
  THorse.Provider.ICS.SSLVerifyPeer := True;
  THorse.Provider.ICS.SSLCACertFile := 'C:\certs\ca.crt'; // CA certificate to verify clients

  THorse.Get('/ping',
    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
    begin
      Res.Send('pong');
    end);

  THorse.Listen(8443);
end.

3. SSL/TLS with CrossSocket Provider

For the async CrossSocket provider, configure the TLS context in your server instance:

pascal
uses
  Horse,
  Horse.Provider.CrossSocket;

begin
  // Enable SSL/TLS and load certificates (requires OpenSSL library binaries on PATH)
  THorse.Provider.CrossSocket.SSLSecured := True;
  THorse.Provider.CrossSocket.SSLCertFile := 'C:\certs\server.crt';
  THorse.Provider.CrossSocket.SSLPrivateKeyFile := 'C:\certs\server.key';

  THorse.Listen(8443);
end.

4. Best Practices for HTTPS

  1. Cipher Suites: Enforce modern, secure cipher suites (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 only). Disable legacy TLS 1.0/1.1 protocols.
  2. HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security): Add the Strict-Transport-Security header to response headers to force browsers to connect only via HTTPS.
  3. Port Standard: Always host public production APIs on standard HTTPS port 443.
