Security Improvements for HTTPS Implementation #221

Description

@MCPClaude

The current HTTPS implementation has some security considerations that could be improved:

  1. TLS version is set to minimum 1.2, but modern recommendations suggest TLS 1.3
  2. No cipher suite preferences are specified
  3. HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) headers are not set
  4. Certificate revocation checking is not implemented
  5. Standard security headers are missing (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, etc.)

Additionally, the README advises using HTTPS for production, but doesn't provide guidance on obtaining or generating certificates.

Recommended actions:

  1. Update TLS configuration to prefer TLS 1.3 with secure cipher suites
  2. Add HSTS headers for HTTPS connections
  3. Implement additional security headers
  4. Add documentation for generating self-signed certificates for testing
  5. Include recommendations for obtaining proper certificates in production
  6. Consider adding certificate validation checks
