Summary
https://rustchain.org/api/stats is documented and implemented in the Flask node, but the live rustchain.org Nginx config does not proxy that route. The public site returns a plain Nginx 404 before the request reaches the node.
Live reproduction
curl -sk -w "\nHTTP:%{http_code}\n" https://rustchain.org/api/statsActual response:
<html>
<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>
HTTP:404
Neighboring public routes are reachable through the same domain:
curl -sk https://rustchain.org/health
curl -sk https://rustchain.org/epoch
curl -sk https://rustchain.org/api/miners?limit=3
Expected behavior
GET /api/stats should be proxied to the node and return the backend JSON payload including chain_id, epoch, total_miners, total_balance, and related network statistics.
Impact
- The documented public stats endpoint is unusable on the live domain.
- React Native wallet clients use
/api/stats to fetch chain_id before signing transfers, so mobile sends can fail before submitting /wallet/transfer/signed.
- Monitoring and cross-node validation tooling that compares
/api/stats cannot run against https://rustchain.org.
Root cause
site/nginx-rustchain-org.conf explicitly proxies routes such as /health, /epoch, /api/status, /api/miners, and /wallet/, but omits /api/stats in both the testing and production server blocks.
Proposed fix
Add /api/stats proxy locations in both rustchain.org Nginx server blocks and cover the deployment config with a regression test.
