## What it is
A curated collection of simple, copy-paste Go examples for HTTPS/TLS servers and clients, including OpenSSL commands for generating RSA/ECDSA keys and self-signed certificates. It is documentation-style reference material rather than an installable library.

## Use cases
- set up a simple HTTPS server in Go
- generate a self-signed certificate with OpenSSL
- write a TLS client and server in Go
- configure TLS with ECDSA keys in Go
- enable HTTP/2 on a Go HTTPS server
- load X509 key pairs in Go

## When to choose
- you need quick, working TLS/HTTPS snippets for Go
- you want reference commands for generating keys and certificates
- you are learning how crypto/tls works in Go

## When to avoid
- you need a production TLS termination proxy or managed certificate automation
- you need a maintained library with API guarantees and support
- you need non-Go language examples

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource

- function: security, http-server, http-client, developer-tools
- domain: security, web-development, developer-tools, networking
- platform: go, cross-platform
