Use HTTPS to serve the pages

[Naereen]

Even if uLogMe runs only locally, it could be nice to have an optional support to HTTPS, with an (untrusted) SSL certificate.

Demo of the HTTPS server

• New: the ulogme_serve.sh script is now opening a HTTPS server by default, to port 8443 (looks like 443, the default https:// port),
• But everything else works the same.

Additional details?

In this screenshot, we see that firefox tells us a few things:

1. The page is not truly secure: normal, as the server certificate is generating locally, and so is not automatically trusted by your browser,
2. But the SSLeuth extension rate 8/10 the quality of the SSL connection: in fact, the SSL is perfect, except for the first issue.

One more trick?

The demo shows the https://ulogme:8443/ page, but it's just a trick:

• First, edit your /etc/hosts file to add ulogme as an alias for localhost:

$ sudo nano /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost  # should already be there
127.0.0.1 ulogme    # added for https://github.com/Naereen/uLogMe/

• Then, open the page https://ulogme:8443/ instead of https://localhost:8443/. That's it.
