Problem

How to set SSL support in built-in cherrypy server web.py

Solution (Requires latest web.py version [0.37 installed from source as of this writing])

import web
from web.wsgiserver import CherryPyWSGIServer

CherryPyWSGIServer.ssl_certificate = "/path/to/ssl_certificate"
CherryPyWSGIServer.ssl_private_key = "/path/to/ssl_private_key"
   
urls = ("/.*", "hello")
app = web.application(urls, globals())

class hello:
    def GET(self):
        return 'Hello, world!'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

For version 0.36 and earlier (somewhat broken implementation, will crash on SSLException)

import web
from web.wsgiserver import CherryPyWSGIServer
from web.wsgiserver.ssl_builtin import BuiltinSSLAdapter

ssl_cert = "path/to/ssl_certificate"
ssl_key = "path/to/ssl_private_key"

CherryPyWSGIServer.ssl_adapter = BuiltinSSLAdapter(ssl_cert,ssl_key,None)


urls = ("/.*", "hello")
app = web.application(urls, globals())

class hello:
    def GET(self):
        return 'Hello, world!'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
