Description Jeff Kowalczyk 2007-04-02 21:24:16 UTC
One of the reasons I'm trying nginx is because of an inscrutable apache SSL configuration problem. nginx seems to have a very simple SSL approach, and it would be very helpful if nginx could install a basic self-signed certificate 

I don't know much about the docert function yet, or whether the upstream package needs to provide its own specific .pem or .key for docert to be used.

worker_processes 1;
http {
    ...
    server {
        listen               443;
        ssl                  on;
        ssl_certificate      /usr/local/nginx/conf/cert.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key  /usr/local/nginx/conf/cert.key;
        keepalive_timeout    70;
    }
}
