    You will need IO::Socket::SSL in order to run https. But you are not encountering (yet) that error because you are passing a bad param, as the error message says. Try --ssl.

    Hope this helps!


    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

      Examination of the source-code of 'HTTP::Server::PSGI' in its 'prepare_socket_class' method indicates that a check for 'IO::Socket::SSL' is already being done if SSL is requested. But you'd need to trace through the calling code to see if it is being requested.

      I was not able to install IO::Socket::SSL in my Windows Strawberry and its giving below message and halting there. Do we have any solution here?

      Is this the below command correct?

      plackup --enable--ssl --ssl-key-file=C:\Users\Documents\Private-Public\privateKey.key --ssl-cert-file=C:\Users\Documents\Private-Public\certificate.crt app.psgi

      I have ran the below command but not port listening to http only. Please check below

      HTTP::Server::PSGI: Accepting connections at http://0:5000/

        No. That's not what I said. From reading the source code of the module HTTP::Server::PSGI, which you could do as well, I see that the expected param is called ssl. So try what I said: 

        plackup --ssl --ssl-key-file=C:\Users\Documents\Private-Public\private
+Key.key --ssl-cert-file=C:\Users\Documents\Private-Public\certificate
+.crt bin/app.psgi

        [download]
        This produces as expected a file error on my system: 
        $ plackup --ssl --ssl-key-file=C:\Users\Documents\Private-Public\priva
+teKey.key --ssl-cert-file=C:\Users\Documents\Private-Public\certifica
+te.crt bin/app.psgi

SSL_cert_file C:UsersDocumentsPrivate-Publiccertificate.crt can't be u
+sed: No such file or directory at /Users/me/.perlbrew/libs/perl-5.32.
