I've been following the directions here: http://synapse.ararat.cz/doku.php/public:howto:httpsserver to turn an HTTP server I'm writing into an HTTPS server.
To quote: "When you need fast accepting of HTTPS connections, then you must have their own server certificate and key. Create it by your favourite security tool. You can use self-signed certificate, when you need only encryption HTTPS feature. ... You need key and certificate in one of next formats: PEM, ASN1 DER or PFX." Then it lists some examples. I googled various different ways to create a self-signed certificate with openssl, and tried it a dozen or so different ways, but I can never figure out the right combination of steps on the command line vs. the code I need to put in before i call "Sock.SSLAcceptConnection". I know "how to use openssl" is slightly off topic, and I apologize for that, but could one of you take pity on me and hold my hand through using openssl to create a self-signed certificate and which values I need to set in synapse? I'm using Linux (ubuntu 7.10 to be exact). Thanks a lot, Seth Grover -- Good news, everyone!
