Access Json-RPC interface
In the main network ( mainnet) and test network ( testnet) modes, the json-rpcport is used to access .litecoin/litecoin.confthe 19332port configured in use , but in the private chain ( regtest) mode, it seems that the configuration does not work. It is still necessary to access the default 19443port.
We can use postmanor curlother tools to access: litecoinrpc: litecoinrpc is the username and password of rpc respectively
curl -s -X POST --user litecoinrpc:litecoinrpc -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:19443/ --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getnetworkinfo", "params": [] }'
