Using the cert option

To use the cert option you have to:

1. Generate the certificate with the following command: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout myKey.pem -out cert.pem -days 365.
2. Genenrate the pkcs12 file with the following command: openssl pkcs12 -export -out keyStore.p12 -inkey myKey.pem -in cert.pem
3. Pass the cert and certpass arguments like this http-server -c ./keyStore.p12 --certpass yourPassword. Certpass option can be left blank if no password was set.
