# HTTPS Webserver for MS-DOS
This is a minimal HTTPS capable webserver for MS-DOS.
It is not in real working condition, it creates a "double fault" when exiting with CTRL-C (I guess some DOS memory is corrupted when running).
HTTP code was taken from https://github.com/starnight/MicroHttpServer
TLS is provided by https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls
TCP/IP stack is https://www.watt-32.net/
INI file reading is provided by https://github.com/rxi/ini
## Quick start
- Run some kind of DOS (MS-DOS, FreeDOS, ???)
- Extract the release ZIP file to e.g. `C:\HTTPDOS`
- Load a packet driver for your network card (Packet drivers can e.g. be found on packetdriversdos.net or on crynwr.com or www.georgpotthast.de)
- Change to `C:\HTTPDOS` and run `HTTPDOS.EXE`
- Watch the output for the IP-address (the default `WATTCP.CFG` uses DHCP)
- Connect to `https:///`
- Allow the browser to connect to a site with a self-signed certificate
- Be amazed :)
## Configuration
See `HTTPDOS.INI` for an example configuration.
## Self signed certificate
You need to provide matching TLS/SSL certificates in order to run the server.
Self signed certificates can be generated using `genkeys.sh`.
`genkeys.sh`, `cert.conf` and `csr.conf` were created following https://devopscube.com/create-self-signed-certificates-openssl/
## NOISE.SYS
A random number generator can be obtained here: https://github.com/robrwo/noise.sys
