Eos: keosd API to use a secure protocol (e.g. HTTPS)

[gleehokie]

[spoonincode]

Just to be clear here, the changes we want to make are

• cleos can connect via HTTPS to nodeos and/or keos
• keos can be an HTTPS server
• nodeos can be an HTTPS server

?

This would be a great feature to include in RC2, right now we've got 13+ Block Producers all hosting over HTTPS (mostly LetsEncrypt + Nginx).

https://scholar.eosnation.io

Unfortunately, using cleos doesn't seem to support HTTPS domains at the moment.

Feel free to use the following BP's to test HTTPS cleos connections:

cleos -p 443 --host scholarnet.eosnation.io get block 1
cleos -p 443 --host testnet.eosocal.io get block 1
cleos -p 8911 --host scholartestnet.cryptolions.io get block 1
cleos -p 443 --host testnet.meet.one get block 1
cleos -p 443 --host testnet.eoscannon.io get block 1
