[zeromq-dev] zeromq.org and HTTPS

[Pat Collins]

It involves requesting a cert and then proving you own the domain/host,
typically by hosting a page that returns a special code over http. Tools
exist to automate this process on a host that can show web pages at a
certain domain/host.

The best Let's Encrypt setups lean heavily on automating the renewing of
the certs, since they expire every 90 days (I believe). There is also
apparently a way to automate proving you own a domain/host via DNS.

I've used the manual DNS process to get temporary certs for staging
servers. I haven't automated this process before, but I imagine the process
would be made much easier if the whole process could take place on the
server that hosts the main site. That way requesting, proving ownership,
and installing of the cert could happen all in the same place.
