Configurable HTTPS

[obilodeau]

I am running AIL framework behind a TLS-terminating proxy that is integrated with letsencrypt for automatically renewed certificates. I do not need it to provide its certificates. (It's actually the tailscale serve proxy a very nice feature!)

I tried looking at the configuration to make this happen but it doesn't seem supported. In the end, this did it:

# git diff
diff --git a/var/www/Flask_server.py b/var/www/Flask_server.py
index 7e6aa64e..3c58cc67 100755

+    app.run(host=host, port=FLASK_PORT, threaded=True)

Are you interested in getting a patch that would add a [Flask].https parameter to core.cfg that would add the context (default) or not?

Hi @obilodeau !

Pull requests are welcome !
Adding an option to disable the ssl_context make sense.
You can use the ConfigLoader to load the config.
