HTTPS

Hi,



Looking for some advice on providing a secure embedded webserver for configuration. Is there any open source webserver with support for HTTPS.



Best regards,


Eoin


Apache, AFAIK. Never needed to use it, but if my Linux buddies are to be believed it's the be-all, end-all.

I'm sure there are smaller ones, too.

True, but it seems to a rather heavy solution for what the OP wants.

Lighthttpd springs to mind, but there are plenty of others:

How suitable they are for the OP depnds on the embedded platform.

How complex is your "configuration"? E.g., is it comparable to something like configuring a wireless access point? If so, perhaps take a look at how others have done *that* (e.g., download the sources for one of the linksys wireless routers and borrow from there)

Hi Thanks for your advice.

For all your

The webserver is an addition to an existing system. It uses the Keil RL-ARM RTOS - so Linux is out for the moment. Lighthttpd is very interesting, may be of interest for a future project. There is a HTTP server included with the Keil tools, which is perfect for showing basic pages-but not secure pages. There are comerical embedded webservers with SSL but most are built in with a specific RTOS, Such as QNX /SMX.

Allegro seem to have one that may be suitable, but I have yet to get a response.

Best regards

You might also consider Mongoose:

Maybe have a look at stunnel:

It wraps non- encrypted protocols into an ssl tunnel. Don't know how hard it will be, porting it to your OS though.
