Hi Guys

Wanted to thank you for the very cool prest library. I like it a lot. Works well over http
I have a question..

I’m using it internally and tried prest http calls from Confluence. Unfortunately our Confluence runs behind https and making any javascript/jquery http call is blocked. I tried configuring SSL in prest.toml for localhost using openssl instructions I saw here (generated cert and key)
https://www.section.io/engineering-education/how-to-get-ssl-https-for-localhost/

but getting the prest SSL not enabled on the server error all the time without really any good details..

Wonder if you can publish instructions on how to make prest run on https on say localhost using openssl on mac?

Thank you very much!!

@avelino should we cover the pREST internals on SSL or should it be just a tutorial setting up certbot + nginx + prest?
