can you add HTTPS functionality to a python flask web server?

Question

I am trying to build a web interface to Mock up a restful interface on networking device this networking device uses Digest Authentication and HTTPS. I figured out how to integrate Digest Authentication into the web server but I cannot seem to find out how to get https using FLASK if you can show me how please comment on what i would need to do with the code below to make that happen.

from flask import Flask, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    return 'Flask is running!'


@app.route('/data')
def names():
    data = {"names": ["John", "Jacob", "Julie", "Jennifer"]}
    return jsonify(data)


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

Answer 1

this also works in a pinch

from flask import Flask, jsonify


from OpenSSL import SSL
context = SSL.Context(SSL.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2)
context.use_privatekey_file('server.key')
context.use_certificate_file('server.crt')   


app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    return 'Flask is running!'


@app.route('/data')
def names():
    data = {"names": ["John", "Jacob", "Julie", "Jennifer"]}
    return jsonify(data)


#if __name__ == '__main__':
#    app.run()
if __name__ == '__main__':  
     app.run(host='127.0.0.1', debug=True, ssl_context=context)
