# taken from http://www.piware.de/2011/01/creating-an-https-server-in-python/
# generate server.xml with the following command:
#    openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.pem -out server.pem -days 365 -nodes
# run as follows:
#    python simple-https-server.py
# then in your browser, visit:
#    https://localhost:4443

import BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer
import ssl

httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('localhost', 4443), SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)
httpd.socket = ssl.wrap_socket (httpd.socket, certfile='./server.pem', server_side=True)
httpd.serve_forever()

How the certfile should look like?
Is it only the cert?
Or ist it a bundle with cert and key?

@schoenid If you look at the command provided in the comment (openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.pem -out server.pem -days 365 -nodes), both -keyout and -out point to the same file (server.pem), so you get both the private key and the certificate in the same file. You can refer to command man openssl req for more information.

@telmotrooper Many Thanks! This is very helpful.
