Throws no errors, yet silently there are problems.
When I run the usual server with python
python -m http.server 80
It works fine and I may access the server with localhost or 127.0.0.1, but when I try running a secure twisted server with
twistd -no web --path=. --https=80 --certificate=../cert.pem --privkey=../key.pem
and try to access via a browser with localhost or 127.0.0.1 my browser can't connect and I must use https://localhost:80 or https://127.0.0.1:80 to connect.
Here's the server startup output:
twistd -no web --path=. --https=80 --certificate=../cert.pem --privkey=../key.pem

2016-11-14T17:41:47+1100 [-] Site starting on 8080
But I also can't get the normal http to server on port 80.
Here is my question now.
1) How can I allow a client to connect without the trailing :80?
HTTPS defaults to port 443, whereas HTTP defaults to port 80. The two are different protocols. Note that your HTTP server is running on 8080 as per the shown output. Since you are using a non-standard port for HTTPS, you have to specify the port explicitly.
