Demo GUI for prompting to trust a server certificate

Trust Me 🔐

A proof-of-concept GUI for prompting an user when a certificate is not trusted yet. The ssl configuration will be reloaded during runtime.

This GUI app demonstrates the feature of Trusting additional new certificates at runtime from the library sslcontext-kickstart It might occur that your truststore has outdated certificates and is not easy to maintain or it just calls servers which has recently updated their certificates. This option demonstrates how to integrate it in your GUI app, and it will prompt when the certificate is not trusted yet, which gives the option to the end-user to either trust or reject it.
