Detailed Description

Tufao::HttpsServer is a subclass of Tufao::HttpServer that provides secure communication with the client.

It does this using socket streams over TLS connections.

This combination (HTTP + SSL/TLS) is know as HTTP Secure and provides encrypted communication.

To use HTTPS in Tufão, just set the local certficate and private key before call Tufao::HttpsServer::listen. The default port for this protocol is 443.

Note

You should also pay to a trusted certificate authority to sign your certificate if you are willing to provide secure identification also.

The use of HTTPS implies an extra overhead in the software, limiting the number of requests that can be served per time and should be moderated. It's common to use it only in pages that handles more sensitive information, such as login pages and payment transactions.

Member Function Documentation

void Tufao::HttpsServer::setLocalCertificate

(

const QSslCertificate &

certificate

)

Sets the local certificate to certificate.

Note

This member function should be called before Tufao::HttpsServer::listen

void Tufao::HttpsServer::setPrivateKey

(

const QSslKey &

key

)

Sets the private key to key.

Warning

Remember that encryption security relies on the fact that no one knows your private key.

Note

This member function should be called before Tufao::HttpsServer::listen
