Run Flask dev server over HTTPS using CLI

Question

I am trying to serve a Flask application over HTTPS using the flask command. I can do this using app.run by passing the ssl_context ar

Answer 1

This will be available when Flask 1.0 is released.

flask run --cert dev.crt --key dev.key

Until then, use app.run if you really need this. Keep in mind that the dev server is not meant for production and should typically not be accessible publicly, so SSL shouldn't be as big a concern.
