SSL using legit (non-self signed) certificate.

[hollowbit]

I tried to create a server hosted on the same server as my website with https on it. (https://hollowbit.net/vedi0boy/). You can see https works, but when I try using it for websockets, it doesn't. Is there a way to do it or is it simply not implemented yet.

When using applications made with gwt (java converted to javascript) for example, it doesn't allow you to connect to self-signed certificate servers for security reasons. Also, it looks a lot more legit if I don't use them.

Thanks!

Hello @vedi0boy,

I should be able to provide an example for you to use a certificate (Let's encrypt) for the server.

Gonna add a documentation.

Here is the code I used to generate a keystore from a regular certificate; and here is an example usage.

The code is pretty old, I ended up not using Java-WebSocket because the code is old and full of weird quircks. But the idea is there.

Hello @vedi0boy,

Awesome! I will try it when I get the chance. Does this only work with Let's Encrypt? I use it but I'm just curious for people using other CAs.

Hello @vedi0boy,

well I use it with a Let's Encrypt certificate.

Some certificiates may not use "pem" files so it will be likely that you have to use a keystore.
And some certficiates may have a different format so you may wanna adjust this to (when you load the certificate directly from the file)
