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

I've ran into trouble with this also. I originally had:

    if sys.argv[1] == 'https' or sys.argv[1] == 'Https':
        app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=12100, ssl_context='adhoc')
    elif sys.argv[1] == 'http' or sys.argv[1] == 'HTTP':
        app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=12100)

which only allowed either http or https at a time and not both.

So I used multi-threading to make both work at the same time. I put each app.run in it's own function and called an independent thread on each one of them.

import threading
import time as t

...

def runHttps():
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=12101, ssl_context='adhoc')

def runHttp():
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=12100)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # register_views(app)
    CORS(app, resources={r"*": {"origins": "*"}}, supports_credentials=True)
    if sys.argv[1] == 'https' or sys.argv[1] == 'Https' or sys.argv[1] == 'http' or sys.argv[1] == 'Http':
        print("here")
        y = threading.Thread(target=runHttp)
        x = threading.Thread(target=runHttps)
        print("before running runHttps and runHttp")
        y.start()
        t.sleep(0.5)
        x.start()

And that's how I made http and https work at the same time.
