Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating cfssl's existing HTTP server and public Go APIs, then determine whether an application can embed them without a forwarding wrapper. Done means a supported approach is implemented or clearly documented, with coverage for the relevant server behavior.

Description

Hi, thank you very much for this super helpful library!
I was wondering whether it is easily possible to create an own go web server that uses the cfssl instead of creating a wrapper server that forwards requests to it?
