Scalatra with SSL/HTTPS

[Carson McNeil]

Hey, I'm very new to using Scalatra, and web frameworks in general. I'm building a server for work that needs to only communicate over HTTPS. How do you do this with Scalatra? I can see implementations of SSL online, but all of these are at a level that is abstracted out in the Scalatra framework. 

If anyone knows anything about this that would be great.

Thank you!

Yes, SSL happens at a different level than Scalatra. Secure or not,
Scalatra is plugged into the servlet container with web.xml. SSL is a
container (e.g., Jetty, Tomcat) setting, the details of which depend
on the container you're using.

Thank you! That's very helpful, time to go read about Jetty!

there is also this: https://github.com/scalatra/scalatra/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/scalatra/SslRequirement.scala

That forces a url to be secure.
