Https with Http in Flask Python

Question

I have a client server application. I managed to make them connect over https using SSl encryption using this

    context = SSL.Context(SSL.SSLv3_METHOD)
    con         


        

Answer 1

Now i want to run the server using both http and https is there any possible way to do that ??

I have had a similar problem recently. To test whether a proxy is used after http is redirected to https, I've just started two processes on different ports: one for http, another for https:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Serve both http and https. Redirect http to https."""
from flask import Flask, abort, redirect, request # $ pip install flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    if request.url.startswith('http://'):
        return redirect(request.url.replace('http', 'https', 1)
                        .replace('080', '443', 1))
    elif request.url.startswith('https://'):
        return 'Hello HTTPS World!'
    abort(500)

def https_app(**kwargs):
    import ssl
    context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2)
    context.load_cert_chain('server.crt', 'server.key')
    app.run(ssl_context=context, **kwargs)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    from multiprocessing import Process

    kwargs = dict(host='localhost')
    Process(target=https_app, kwargs=dict(kwargs, port=7443),
            daemon=True).start()
    app.run(port=7080, **kwargs)

Needless to say, it is only for testing/debugging purposes.
