Unsecure HTTP should never be used. It opens up a motherload of fun security volubilities. Using Let’s encrypt and Kvarn, you can easily set up a secure HTTPS server.

Kvarn uses ring through Rustls. It’s been audited with great results - code quality was considered excellent.

Protocols

Kvarn only accepts secure protocols. That excludes SSL and TLS versions before 1.2.

Setup

When creating a host, you need to supply a certificate and private key.

If you have PEM encoded keys, you can use the function try_read_fs.
