Research direction

The issue proposes hot-reloading Let’s Encrypt TLS certificates, either on SIGHUP as in #80 or automatically with certman. No implementation files, tests, or entry points are identified; first clarify the intended reload trigger and completion criteria with the maintainers before starting.

Description

type: feature request

Hello,
thank you for rest-server! I'm using it with letsencrypt-issued TLS certificates and I'm interested to know if hot-reload of certificates is planned or something that rest-server could get? For example upon SIGHUP (#80) or automatically e.g. with https://github.com/dyson/certman.
