How do I enable HTTPS via Snap Server?

Is there a simple example of enabling HTTPS on a Snap server? I am not into OpenSsl and using it using Snap. Thanks to

JP Moresmau showed you how to enable it from the command line, but doing the same programmatically is just as easy. The function that runs Snap "main loop" takes a configuration parameter as its first argument, as you see in this snippet of documentation . You can simply call defaultConfig

from the Snap.Http.Server.Config module and then call setSSLPort

, setCert

and setSSLKey

on the topic. Then you can pass this new configuration httpServe

in as the first argument. If you have used snap init

, you can find all the relevant codes in src/Main.hs

.

As you can see here , the default configuration is generated from the command line using description . Therefore, the change defaultConfig

is exactly the same as passing command line arguments.



What I find a little odd is that there is no defaultSSLConfig

one that generates a self-signed certificate so you can try SSL quickly. Also, this is an odd certificate and keys are of type FilePath

. Maybe this is a good request to get the Snap team for review?
