I configured my web server to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. I used openssl to generate an X509 certificate and private key. When I connect using FireFox it warns me of an "Untrusted Connection" and allows me to add an exception to continue. When I connect using my iPhone's Safari web browser it does the same thing. I hit accept to the security prompt and it works fine.
I add the web page to my home screen so that I can run it as a web-app. When I open the web-app I see the following prompt:
Cannot Open MyWebApp MyWebApp could not be opened. The error was: "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be mydomainnamehere.com" which could put your confidential information at risk.:". CLOSE or RETRY
If I hit close the web-app closes. If I hit retry I see the prompt again. There is no option to trust the site and continue. How can I get this to work? I'd like to use HTTPS to encrypt the sensitive data. It is a private site I use to access files remotely. It is not intended for public use.
