can you add HTTPS functionality to a python flask web server?

Question

I am trying to build a web interface to Mock up a restful interface on networking device this networking device uses Digest Authentication and HTTPS. I figured out how to integrate Digest Authentication into the web server but I cannot seem to find out how to get https using FLASK if you can show me how please comment on what i would need to do with the code below to make that happen.

from flask import Flask, jsonify  app = Flask(__name__)   @app.route('/') def index():     return 'Flask is running!'   @app.route('/data') def names():     data = {"names": ["John", "Jacob", "Julie", "Jennifer"]}     return jsonify(data)   if __name__ == '__main__':     app.run() 

Answer 1

Don't use openssl or pyopenssl its now become obselete in python

Refer the Code below

from flask import Flask, jsonify import os  ASSETS_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) app = Flask(__name__)   @app.route('/') def index():     return 'Flask is running!'   @app.route('/data') def names():     data = {"names": ["John", "Jacob", "Julie", "Jennifer"]}     return jsonify(data)   if __name__ == '__main__':     context = ('local.crt', 'local.key')#certificate and key files     app.run(debug=True, ssl_context=context) 

Answer 2

this also works in a pinch

from flask import Flask, jsonify   from OpenSSL import SSL context = SSL.Context(SSL.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2) context.use_privatekey_file('server.key') context.use_certificate_file('server.crt')      app = Flask(__name__)   @app.route('/') def index():     return 'Flask is running!'   @app.route('/data') def names():     data = {"names": ["John", "Jacob", "Julie", "Jennifer"]}     return jsonify(data)   #if __name__ == '__main__': #    app.run() if __name__ == '__main__':        app.run(host='127.0.0.1', debug=True, ssl_context=context)
