from http.server import HTTPServer, SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
import ssl

separator = "-" * 80

httpd = HTTPServer(("localhost", 4443), SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)
httpd.socket = ssl.wrap_socket(httpd.socket, certfile="./server.pem", server_side=True)

print(separator)
print("Server running on https://localhost:4443")
print(separator)

httpd.serve_forever()

I am trying this on windows 10 and Chrome browser v71.

On the chrome browser, I use "https://localhost:4443" as the URL.

and I get the following error:
Your connection is not private
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

I have added the certifcate to Trusted certifcates in the browser, yet this error comes. I guess it has to do with the certificate generation and the "CN" field issued during certificate generation using the openssl

openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.pem -out server.pem -days 365 -nodes

Any clues?

Ok, got it to working by following the certification generation using https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-get-https-working-on-your-local-development-environment-in-5-minutes-7af615770eec. Thanks for the python script.

Thanks!
