Asio supports TLS, so this should be a simple one.

Seems like something that the server should handle, so that it doesn't need to be set in every single generator that may exist.

Method is currently empty.

Make this easy/convenient with example server.

Right now, I have a vector of pairs of std::string. It would be a lot simpler to define headers with a map-like format. During parsing, it will need to handle repeated headers. According to stackoverflow, duplicate headers should be treated as if they were separate elements in a comma-separated list.

Support them.

I don't like the current state machine, and find regexes to be easier and more readable to use.

If a directory does not have an index.html or index.htm, it should display the directory contents. This would require C++17 <filesystem> usage, so perhaps it should be ifdef'ed out when __cplusplus < 201703L

Load key encryption password from password file, from command line, or from terminal.

Currently, requires openssl, and compiling with -lssl -lcrypto. If only an http server is needed, shouldn't require those options. Preprocessor macro to enable https?

I really should use standard terminology.

Currently, only GET requests are supported. Should also support POST requests, and parsing of POST parameters.

Right now, I assume that ASIO_STANDALONE is being used, with std::error_code and asio in the root namespace. I should instead check for its definition, and use boost::error_code and boost::asio if it is not present.

Maybe with C++17 filesystem to dump cache whenever update timestamp changes?

Should have a convenient options class for setting up common uses.
