Develop Locally Using SSL
==================================
Here's how you can set up your local pelican server to support SSL.
First, create a self-signed certificate and key using ``openssl`` (this creates ``cert.pem`` and ``key.pem``)::
$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes
And use this command to launch the server (the server starts within your ``output`` directory)::
python -m pelican.server 8443 --key=../key.pem --cert=../cert.pem
If you are using ``develop-server.sh``, add this to the top::
CERT="$BASEDIR/cert.pem"
KEY="$BASEDIR/key.pem"
and modify the ``pelican.server`` line as follows::
$PY -m pelican.server $port --ssl --cert="$CERT" --key="$KEY" &
