Hi! How do I use HTTPS with Ktor?

[cy]

you need to add an ssl connector

[cy]

https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/master/ktor-samples/ktor-samples-ssl-http2/resources/application.conf

[cy]

If you use embeddedServer function to launch app then you need to use add connector programmatically

[wouterdoeland]

Is it that simple, nice. I want to use embeddedServer yes, how do I add it programmatically?

[cy]

Like here: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/master/ktor-server/ktor-server-host-common/src/io/ktor/server/engine/EmbeddedServer.kt#L34

[cy]

You need to call sslConnector just after connector

[cy]

Be ready to provide JKS keystore and credentials

[wouterdoeland]

Okay, thank you!

Also see here: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/master/ktor-server/ktor-server-host-common/src/io/ktor/server/engine/CommandLine.kt#L88

To get correct JKS you can follow SSL certificate section of http://ktor.io/advanced/http2.html

Cool, love Ktor (and other Kotlin libraries like Exposed) btw!
