Feature request for https

[bdheeman]

Though, there's luasec based on OpenSSL which provides ssl/https.lua works as socket/http.lua, but the mbedTLS seems a much better option to me.

Is it possible to write a similar module based on mbedTLS, I'm not an expert or seasoned Lua programmer, but I would like to help and contribute code.

Hi, there's already client side of HTTPS which you can find at: https://github.com/soulik/luambedtls/blob/master/tests/test_zhttp.lua.

What's missing is the server side of HTTPS. It's significantly harder to implement as there may be many TLS streams which must be paired with sockets.

Another thing is that this project was "proof of concept", so I didn't invest much tought into SSL socket interface.

And yeah, I agree mbedTLS looks great in comparison with OpenSSL. :)
