lws minimal http server with tls and certs from memory
This is the same as the minimal-http-server-tls example, but shows how to init the vhost with both PEM or DER certs from memory instead of files.
The server listens on port 7681 (initialized with PEM in-memory certs) and port 7682 (initialized with DER in-memory certs).
build
$ cmake . && make
usage
$ ./lws-minimal-http-server-tls-mem

Because it uses a selfsigned certificate, you will have to make an exception for it in your browser.
Certificate creation
The selfsigned certs provided were created with
echo -e "GB\nErewhon\nAll around\nlibwebsockets-test\n\nlocalhost\nnone@invalid.org\n" | openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -days 36500 -nodes -x509 -keyout "localhost-100y.key" -out "localhost-100y.cert"
they cover "localhost" and last 100 years from 2018-03-20.
You can replace them with commercial certificates matching your hostname.
The der content was made from PEM like this
$ cat ../minimal-http-server-tls/localhost-100y.key | grep -v ^- | base64 -d | hexdump -C | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f2- | cut -d' ' -f-16 | sed "s/|.*//g" | sed "s/0000.*//g" | sed "s/^/0x/g" | sed "s/\ /\,\ 0x/g" | sed "s/\$/,/g" | sed "s/0x,//g"
HTTP/2
If you built lws with -DLWS_WITH_HTTP2=1
at cmake, this simple server is also http/2 capable
out of the box. If the index.html was loaded over http/2, it will display an HTTP 2 png.
