SSL on the service stack

Question

Is SSL supported in Service Stack on Mono?

I only have access to the Mac, and the instructions I found here will ask you to use the Windows tool to create the pvk file: http://joshua.perina.com/geo/post/using-ssl-https-with-mono-httplistener

The site is hosted as a linux daemon process using an upstart script to support the server.

I ended up writing code on my application host to enable SSL support for Service Stack, which uses HttpListener under covers. Here is the code that will enable SSL for the Service Stack for the console application:

public class AppHost : AppHostHttpListenerBase { public AppHost() : base("Service", typeof(AppHost).Assembly) { } public override void Configure(Funq.Container container) { Plugins.Add(new RazorFormat()); } static void AddP12 (string filename, string password, ushort port) { string dirname = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData); string path = Path.Combine(dirname, ".mono"); path = Path.Combine(path, "httplistener"); if (!Directory.Exists(path)) { Console.WriteLine("Creating directory: " + path); Directory.CreateDirectory(path); } X509Certificate2 x509 = null; try { x509 = new X509Certificate2 (filename, password); } catch (Exception e) { Console.Error.WriteLine ("error loading certificate [{0}]", e.Message); return; } string target_cert = Path.Combine (path, String.Format ("{0}.cer", port)); if (File.Exists(target_cert)) { Console.Error.WriteLine ("error: there is already a certificate for that port."); return; } string target_pvk = Path.Combine (path, String.Format ("{0}.pvk", port)); if (File.Exists(target_pvk)) { Console.Error.WriteLine ("error: there is already a certificate for that port."); return; } using (Stream cer = File.OpenWrite (target_cert)) { byte[] raw = x509.RawData; cer.Write (raw, 0, raw.Length); } PrivateKey pvk = new PrivateKey(); pvk.RSA = x509.PrivateKey as RSA; pvk.Save(target_pvk); } public static void Main(string[] args) { string listeningOn = string.Empty; if (args.Length == 1) listeningOn = "http://*:" + args[0] + "/"; else if (args.Length == 3) { listeningOn = "https://*:" + args[0] + "/"; AddP12(args[1], args[2], Convert.ToUInt16(args[0])); } else { Console.WriteLine("Usage: [port] [p12 certificate] [p12 password]"); return; } AppHost appHost = new AppHost(); appHost.Init(); appHost.Start(listeningOn); Console.WriteLine("Service Stack Server started at {0}, listening on {1}", DateTime.Now, listeningOn); while (true) System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100); } }
