SSL App provide cert and key from memory

[dzonerzy]

Instead of having cert and key on disk is it possible to provide them from memory?

Not right now but you can place files on a ramdisk /tmp usually is

Actually I'm using uWebsockets on Windows and I need to ship a single executable

[uNetworkingAB]

But the same idea is still valid - just copy out the file as a temporary file with GetTempPath and load it.

In my local fork, I've implemented this support for OpenSSL. Is this a feature you are open to me up-streaming?

My current implementation extends SocketContextOptions to have key_pem_contents, key_pem_length, cert_contents, and cert_length, then uses SSL_CTX_use_certificate and SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey under the hood.

I assume that there would also be some changes for boringssl, but I haven't looked.

[uNetworkingAB]

Should be the same for boringssl, feel free to PR it in usockets but I need to look at it

Just a follow-up, that it turned out my implementation was not quite correct (it was only reading the leaf certificate, not the chain), and I've switched away from an implementation that comes from memory - thus I don't plan to proceed with putting out a PR.
