SSL Support

To run ampc with SSL support:

• create a certificate (key and cert in the same file), example:

# openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 1000 -nodes
# cat key.pem cert.pem > ssl.pem

• tell ampc to use a webport using SSL and where to find the certificate:

# ./ampc -w "ssl://8081:/path/to/ssl.pem"
