SSL connections about haywire HOT 9 OPEN

Hey @mattbab having https easy to use is definitely something that haywire will need.

That being said I don't think haywire the right tool for your job.
It is not a drop in replacement for IIS.

Haywire does not run CGI/FastCGI if that is what you are trying to do and finding too heavy on IIS.

Or If you have preexisting code, like some PHP or some thing, then Apache or nginx may be more suited.
However if you are developing an ASP.Net MVC web site then IIS should be fine to use. As IIS will just take the Assemblys and run them, with little fuss.

SSL support would be awesome! Keep in mind Haywire is very experimental so far but I'm definitely open to discussions about how SSL could be added to Haywire and accept any contributions that others may feel useful.

I've never implemented SSL before. Where do you think this would connect in Haywire's source code?

Just for your evaluation libuv-tls.

Here's a link to libuv-tls. Can this help Haywire to get support for TLS? We need someone to investigate.

Separation of concerns-oriented thought: skip TLS, and recommend using something like HAProxy or hitch.

In a very real sense, should Haywire be sitting on the public side instead of something more battle-tested? Also, there's benefits to using something like hitch, things like a common session cache for faster session resumption. Seems like it would just be easier to focus on making requests run fast instead of also trying to make secure requests run fast.

Food for thought. There's also the devil's advocate to my own devil's advocate of the people who might want end-to-end TLS deployments, even for internal traffic. :P

People might find it weird that a HTTP server doesn't support TLS but this milestone is for version 0.1 so maybe we can put off this decision and work on functionality instead.

Moving to milestone Version 0.2 for now.

Though I can not commit fully, Let me give a try to support TLS on Haywire

from haywire.

I might need SSL support in Haywire. https://github.com/deleisha/evt-tls/blob/master/sample/libuv-tls sounds like an easy way to get it.

Oh good find!
