HTTPS Web Server Demo

SSL/TLS Server example program with web page redirection for unauthorized access. The example demonstrates how you can have both secure and non-secure access to files and directories.

The application starts the web server with SSL/TLS capability. The directory structure is such that index.html and the files in the images subdirectory can be viewed with a http or https connection. However, files in the httpsdir directory (ie repeat.html) can only be viewed with a secure https connection.

  html
  |-- index.html
  |-- images
        |-- (various image files)
  |-- httpsdir
        |-- repeat.html

The HTTP_ACCESS CheckHttpAccess(int sock, int access_level, HTTP_Request &Req) function is used to authenticate the web page access. It will allow access or redirect depending on the file and access rights.
