This is an initial attempt to make it easier to test the examples in the https.md doc. At this point, it has to be a manual thing, and I've been running it in boot2docker. My process is as following: $ boot2docker ssh root@boot2docker:/# git clone https://github.com/docker/docker root@boot2docker:/# cd docker/docs/articles/https root@boot2docker:/# make cert lots of things to see and manually answer, as openssl wants to be interactive **NOTE:** make sure you enter the hostname (`boot2docker` in my case) when prompted for `Computer Name`) root@boot2docker:/# sudo make run Start another terminal: $ boot2docker ssh root@boot2docker:/# cd docker/docs/articles/https root@boot2docker:/# make client The last will connect first with `--tls` and then with `--tlsverify`, both should succeed.
