[New-bugs-announce] [issue44169] Add HTTPS support to http.server

[Fred]

New submission from Fred <eldmannen at gmail.com>:

The http.server module only supports HTTP.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html

I propose that it should also support HTTPS.

This would allow it to serve files that depend on features that are restricted to secure contexts.
