I've been toying around with a couple web apps and learning Flask and Python. One topic that I am wondering about is how to set up a web page that is HTTPS in my app. For instance, say another service is posting to my app, and I want it to be secure. What is an overview of tools or code for this?

Feel free to point me to resources to study. That is the stage I am in - reading and learning

Hi Awestruck,

Well, you can already connect to your site via HTTPS. Try it: https://awestruck.pythonanywhere.com/. That works because we have a certificate for *.pythonanywhere.com.

If you wanted to use your own domain (www.awestruck.com for example) you would need to buy an SSL certificate and upload it to PythonAnywhere.

Thank you Hansel. This makes sense to me.
