Jan Dittberner 5c3f0ea942 Add signer backend This commit adds a simple go backend calling openssl ca to sign CRS coming from the client. The JavaScript code in src/index.html has been extended to send requests to the sign endpoint and display the resulting certificate in a separate div element. A script setup_example_ca.sh and an openssl configuration file ca.cnf has been added to allow quick setup of a simple example CA.		2020-11-30 00:22:43 +01:00
