## Gererate your won ssl certificate 
 
Setting up https and ssl certificates in restbed
 - https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed/blob/34187502642144ab9f749ab40f5cdbd8cb17a54a/example/https_service/source/example.cpp

Based on the link above:
 
```bash
# Create Certificate
cd /tmp
openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
openssl dhparam -out dh2048.pem 2048
```

## Enable it in Firefox or Chrome

Firefox and chrome will not work with that certificate as they cant verify it. 
To overcome this for development purposes on localhost, just open new tab in the browser used
and go to any link from the service, e.g., `https://localhost:1984/login`. Once you do this,
you should get warring about unsecured or un verified certificate. Then you just add it manually
as exception.
 
## Test connection using curl

Example of curl https request to the service

```bash
curl -k -X POST -d '{"withCredentials":true,"address":"41pJD13rU5r3KZsxzS65tL9zLMpZZCer8aWSi7wj8Xm99BAgXthcj2wgazxdTX9auFAmp3czfJUGH2S3UJfLwDWXUxc3ooC","view_key":"06d1f0f0fd766c75b52b9c597592d06f4bca5cd6dcd3e9bf1859bc78d0d5f80e","create_account":true}' https://localhost:1984/login
```
