v0.1.0

What's Changed

The package exposes two functions and two types: SelfSigned and SelfSignedFromRequest, and Request and Certificate.

• The Request type is used to specify the parameters for the certificate generation.
• The Certificate type is used to store the generated certificate and key, including the paths to the files on disk.
• The SelfSigned function generates a self-signed certificate and returns it as a Certificate value. This function only receives the host name for the certificate.
• The SelfSignedFromRequest function generates a self-signed certificate based on the parameters in a Request value.

Therefore, it's possible to issue a self-signed certificate with a custom host name, and save it to disk, if needed, or to issue a certificate based on a parent certificate, which is useful for generating client certificates.

The Request struct also provides a ParentDir option that can be used to save the generated certificate to disk as a PEM file.

The Certificate struct provides a Transport method, which returns a pointer to a http.Transport that can be used to perform HTTP requests using the generated certificate; and a TLSConfig method, which returns a pointer to a tls.Config. The Transport method internally uses the TLSConfig method.
