A simple library to generate server certs and keys for HTTPS support directly within your Go program.
The code is modified from http://golang.org/src/crypto/tls/generate_cert.go.
Use this library for testing purposes only, e.g. to experiment with the built-in Go HTTPS server. Do NOT use in production!
PR for this fork is kabukky#1.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/gerald1248/httpscerts"
"log"
"net/http"
)
func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hi there!")
}
func main() {
// Check if the cert files are available.
err := httpscerts.Check("cert.pem", "key.pem")
// If they are not available, generate new ones.
if err != nil {
err = httpscerts.Generate("cert.pem", "key.pem", "127.0.0.1:8081")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("Error: Couldn't create https certs.")
}
}
http.HandleFunc("/", handler)
http.ListenAndServeTLS(":8081", "cert.pem", "key.pem", nil)
}
The method httpscerts.GenerateArrays()
has been added to enable use cases where writing to disk is not desirable. If the initial check fails, a tls.Certificate
is populated and passed to a http.Server
instance.
