It took me more time than it should have to piece together the right bits of current information for using SSL with cherrypy. Here’s a fully working example of cherrypy 3.2.0 serving up HTTPS requests.<\/p>\n

Quick notes – if you haven’t tried cherrypy<\/a>, do it. It’s awesome in its simplicity. Also, I got my SSL cert from godaddy, which was the cheapest I found. This particular cert uses a certificate chain, so when all is said and done we have my_cert.crt, my_cert.key, and\u00a0gd_bundle.crt. <\/p>\n

ssl_server.py:<\/p>\n

import cherrypy\n\nclass RootServer:\n    @cherrypy.expose\n    def index(self, **keywords):\n        return \"it works!\"\n\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n    server_config={\n        'server.socket_host': '0.0.0.0',\n        'server.socket_port':443,\n\n        'server.ssl_module':'pyopenssl',\n        'server.ssl_certificate':'\/home\/ubuntu\/my_cert.crt',\n        'server.ssl_private_key':'\/home\/ubuntu\/my_cert.key',\n        'server.ssl_certificate_chain':'\/home\/ubuntu\/gd_bundle.crt'\n    }\n\n    cherrypy.config.update(server_config)\n    cherrypy.quickstart(RootServer())<\/pre>\n
Launch the server like:<\/p>\n
sudo python ssl_server.py<\/pre>\n
You need to use sudo because it runs on port 443.  You should be asked to “Enter PEM pass phrase” that you set when generating your key.<\/p>\n
Update:<\/strong> In a follow-up post<\/a> I show how you run an HTTPS server (port 443) and an HTTP server (port 80) at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
