HTTPS Server using OpenSSL

Usage

Generating Trusted Certificate

We put self-signed certificate in this directory as an example but your browser will complain that connections to the server aren't secure. We recommend to use mkcert to trust it. To use a local CA, you should run:

mkcert -install

If you want to generate your own private key/certificate pair, then run:

mkcert -key-file key.pem -cert-file cert.pem 127.0.0.1 localhost

A new key.pem and cert.pem will be saved to the current directory. You will then need to modify main.rs where indicated.

Running Server

$ cd https-tls/openssl
$ cargo run # (or `cargo watch -x run`)
starting HTTPS server at 127.0.0.1:8443

Using Client

curl: curl -vk https://127.0.0.1:8443
curl (forced HTTP/1.1): curl -vk --http1.1 https://127.0.0.1:8443
browser: https://127.0.0.1:8443

Self-Signed Encrypted Private Key Command

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key-pass.pem -out cert-pass.pem -sha256 -days 365
