Simple HTTPS Server

I'd forgotten a password, but it was saved in my Safari Autofill thing, which is encrypted. I thought I'd snag it using form submissions. Because the site was HTTPS, I needed to have an appropriate server rather than just sniffing network traffic. I could have modified the Apache config but this seemed more troublesome than writing a program to do it.

Hacked together from a few sources.

  require 'webrick'
  require 'webrick/https'

  OPTIONS = {
    :port        => 443,
    :server_root    => '/Library/WebServer/Documents/'

  }

     server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port        => OPTIONS[:port].to_i,
                       :SSLEnable        => true,
                       :SSLVerifyClient    => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE,
                       :SSLCertName    => [ [ "CN", WEBrick::Utils::getservername ] ],
                       :DocumentRoot => OPTIONS[:server_root]
                      )

  class PostDumper < WEBrick::HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet

      # Reload file for each request, instantly
      # updating the server with code changes 
      # without needing a restart.

  =begin
      def PostDumper.get_instance( config, *options )
         load __FILE__
         PostDumper.new config, *options
      end
  =end

         response.status = 200
         response['Content-Type'] = "text/plain"

      end
   end

  server.mount("/foo", PostDumper)

  %w(INT).each do |signal|
     trap(signal) { server.shutdown }
  end

  server.start
