SSL with HTTPD Library?

[Monte Goulding]

As it’s not documented I’m not 100% sure it works or anyone has tried it but it seems at some point `accept secure connections` was implemented.

The syntax declaration for `accept` should be:

accept [{ secure | datagram }] connections on port <port> with message <message> [{ with | without } verification]

I can see for sure there is a bug meaning you can’t turn on verification using `with verification`.

Really I think the command would need further enhancement to add the optional:

with certificate <file path> and private key <file path>

That would presume the rest of the certificate chain is in the sslCertificates I think.
