Simpler run configurations without config file + tls instructions

binserve seems really great but I really wish it were a bit easier to use:

  1. It would be really great to be able to just do binserver --auto-self-signed-tls --dir ./www and have it generate a self-signed key/cert and serve from the directory.
  2. I have no idea how to generate certs/keys for this. I have my openssl one-liner and if I try to use that I get:
[cole@slynux:~/code/webrtcsink]$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -sha256 -days 365                                                                        
redacted....


[cole@slynux:~/code/webrtcsink]$ binserve

It seems like if I convert the PEM key like this, it will work:

openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in key.pem -out key8.pem

and switching the key file to point to key8.pem of course.

#33 helps with this by adding basic openssl generation docs

Hey @colemickens, thank you so much for opening this issue and the PR. I should've added more details on the TLS part.

I will use this as a tracking issue to add --auto-self-signed-tls --dir ./www options/feature so it would be a lot easier, thanks for the idea! 🙌
