Is it possible to use Https protocol with Cppcms? #79

Closed suvidh closed 3 years ago

If so how? I think websites made with cppcms are HTTP and browsers register that as not secure... I want my website to use HTTPS.. taking a guess we are required to use OpenSSL but how to go about it? consider me right in between a total noob and intermediate.

You can always use cppcms with existing high performance web server/reverse proxy like nginx and communicate with it using one of the supported protocols like FastCGI, SCGI or even HTTP. The web server will provide all SSL/https support.

In fact it is the recommended configuration - running behind http server.

The support of https/ssl is on the road map but there are higher priority features need to be implemented.
