This project demonstrates how to run a HTTPS file server with Mongoose Embedded Web Server Library.
Step 1: Download and build Mongoose and OpenSSL, then build the sample HTTPS file server shipped with Mongoose's source code
./download_and_build_mongoose.sh
When completed, the resulting file server can be found at ./mongoose_src/examples/simplest_web_server_ssl/simplest_web_server_ssl.
Step 2: You can run the HTTPS file server either on Occlum
./run_https_server_in_occlum.sh
or on Linux
./run_https_server_in_linux.sh
The HTTPS file server should now start to listen on port 8443 and serve HTTPS requests.
Step 3: To check whether the HTTPS server works, run
curl -k https://127.0.0.1:8443
in another terminal.
It is also possible to access the HTTPS server directly in a Web browser. But if you are testing in a Docker container, you won't be able to open the URL https://127.0.0.1:8443 in a browser on the host OS. To fix this, you have to manually map port 8843 of the Docker container to a port on the host OS. Check out how to use the -p argument of docker run command.
