Not strictly necessary, although it maps the flags more closely to internal logic and provides additional flexibility. I see two main cases where those flags are used
I guess another benefit of the two flags is that it better documents the behavior in the CLI reference. I slightly tend towards having two flags, but open to changing it to a single flag. |
I am hoping for this to become a reality soon as well, making the flags mostly obsolete and for debugging only. What's nice we can use ssz everywhere already if we know Lodestar is the only beacon node, e.g. on dappnode, eth-docker (no fallback), and our fleet (there might be more) which should cover alot of users already. |

Motivation
Part of #6749 but created a separate PR for easier review as this change is mostly in the cli package and could be merged separately to unstable branch after #6749 is merged, although for sake of testing it earlier, we might wanna merge in the refactor branch itself.
Description
Add CLI flags to configure http wire format.
requestWireFormat
The default is
jsonto ensure compatibility with other clients, there are exceptions if an api must supportsszrequests as per spec, then we will usesszas wire format but only for those. This allows to gradually adopt for more routes as the spec improves support for it.For debugging purposes, it is possible to set the CLI flag explicitly to
--http.requestWireFormat=jsonto enforcejsonon all routes. In a Lodestar-only setup, it is safe to set this to--requestWireFormat=sszto get the benefits of using ssz for all apis.I have been opening issues on other clients to properly support 415 status code (only Teku supports it), and once this is more broadly supported we might be able to use
sszas default wire format for all routes as Lodestar will just retry the request withjsonand use the same for all subsequent requests.Note: there is no guarantee that the request will use
sszif the server does not support it as failed (415) requests are retried usingjsonresponseWireFormat
We can default to
sszfor responses as it just states a preference on what the server should return. This has been tested with all other clients and does not cause compatibility issues.For debugging purposes, it is possible to set
--http.responseWireFormat=jsonto state the preference to the server to receive responses asjson.Note: it's not guaranteed that we will be receiving the wire format as requested as this pretty much depends on the server, especially for
sszas it is not supported for most routes by other clients.
