HTTPS Problem on Windows

Please follow the guidelines in the documentation, examples and tutorials available.

https://mongoose.ws/documentation/tutorials/http-server/#tls-support

The TLS tutorial explains how to add TLS support to servers (and clients, by the way). Some of the examples cited here already have TLS support included, check the "How to build" section in the TLS tutorial for specific information on building options for your OS.

https://mongoose.ws/documentation/tutorials/tls/#windows

Only what the example provides in its Makefile is supported

https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/tree/master/examples/http-restful-server

mbedtls is supported:

This explains what Mongoose needs to be built with one of the supported TLS libraries:
https://mongoose.ws/documentation/tutorials/tls/#how-to-build

How to build with that library in your system under your particular use is beyond us. Follow those tutorials, understand your system, understand your tools
