Codehaus Cargo : Containers with HTTPS support

Though some containers support HTTPS, the way it is configured is not yet uniform across them.

Jetty 10.x onwards

The Jetty container supports HTTPS, both as a complement to the HTTP connector or as an HTTPS-only connector.

To add HTTPS support, in addition to the HTTP support:

1. Set the property JettyPropertySet.MODULES to include the https module (in addition to the http module)
2. Set the properties JettyPropertySet.CONNECTOR_KEY_STORE_FILE and JettyPropertySet.CONNECTOR_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD with the relevant details
3. Optionally, JettyPropertySet.CONNECTOR_HTTPS_PORT allows you to change the HTTPS port (default is 9443)

To only have HTTPS (and no HTTP) configured:

1. Set the property JettyPropertySet.MODULES to have the https module instead of the http module
2. Set the property GeneralPropertySet.PROTOCOL to https
3. Set the properties JettyPropertySet.CONNECTOR_KEY_STORE_FILE and JettyPropertySet.CONNECTOR_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD with the relevant details
4. Make sure you set both ServletPropertySet.PORT and JettyPropertySet.CONNECTOR_HTTPS_PORT to the same port number

Tomcat 6.x onwards and TomEE

The Tomcat 6.x onwards and TomEE containers either use HTTP or HTTPS (not both). To switch to HTTPS:

1. Set the property GeneralPropertySet.PROTOCOL to https
2. Set the properties TomcatPropertySet.CONNECTOR_KEY_STORE_FILE and TomcatPropertySet.CONNECTOR_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD with the relevant details

The property ServletPropertySet.PORT is then used for HTTPS.
