This recipe describes how to set up a simple HTTP server supporting SSL secure communications. It extends the SimpleHTTPServer standard module to support the SSL protocol. With this recipe, only the server is authenticated while the client remains unauthenticated (i.e. the server will not request a client certificate from the browser). So, the client (typically the browser) will be able to verify the server identity and secure its communications with the server.

A minimalist application server, handling both GET and POST requests, including multipart/form-data for file uploads, HTTP redirections, and with an in-memory session management.

Sweet.

This goes to my opendap client.

Beautiful.
