EFT Internals: response processing
Originally written for the development of Haru.
Step-by-step overview of the client processing the response body.
Example path used: /client/game/start.
Useful for both Aki devs as reference point for implementing it into the server and modders who want to implement custom payload protection.
Notes
As of now, the client only supports aes as payload encryption type.
Since it's passed as a string, you can override the appropriate method in the client to support additional (custom) encryption types.
To find the method to target, simply look scan for the string "aes" inside Assembly-CSharp.dll.
