+# Adding SSL Encryption to Your Webserver
+
+## Getting started
++ Install OpenSSL on your system. There are OpenSSL install packages for all major Linux distributions.
++ Create a SSL certificate
++ Edit your input file
+
+## Creating a SSL certificate
+You can use your own certificate but to create a self signed certificate follow the steps below:
+```
+  openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
+
+  openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
+
+  cp server.key server.key.orig
+
+  openssl rsa -in server.key.orig -out server.key
+
+  openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
+
+  cp server.crt server.pem
+
+  cat server.key >> server.pem
+```
+
+## Edit your input file
+
+add the following lines to your input file
+```python
+web.server.ssl_enable = True
+web.server.path_to_ssl_cert = server.pem
+```
+Where server.pem is the path to the server.pem file you created when creating a SSL certificate
+
+## Access your webserver
+Now that ssl encryption is enabled, to access you webserver use https://localhost.ssl:8888 instead of http and wss://localhost.ssl:8888 for http and ws protocals respectively.

+## Extending the HTTP-API
 
 The HTTP-API is implemented as a collection of ```httpMethodHandlers```. An ```httpMethodHandler``` is a pointer to a function that is expected to respond to an HTTP GET request, using the **CivetWeb** framework. An ```httpMethodHandler``` is defined (in ```trick/CivetWeb.hh```) as follows:
