https server support on esp32

Missing feature
I'm looking to add https server side support to a project utilizing the esp32 build of nodemcu.
A moderate amount of google research hasn't identified in an existing implementation or http overlay that works with nodemcu (if anyone is aware of one - please let me know). At this point it seems like the only option is to build one.
I'm considering a few paths here and would appreciate any thoughts/insight before starting.
- Create a C based http module that leverages esp-idfs http and https implementation . I like this approach as creating c lua modules the wrap esp-idf functionality is well established and we can piggyback off fixes/testing/stability of the esp implementation.
- Adapt something like LuaSec to overlay the existing Lua HTTP module. This seems like a less straightforward path to me.
Justification
- Security is important
- ESP32 has the power to handle a secure server
- Other frameworks support https servers
Workarounds
None
Does the ESP32 really have the power to be a TLS server? The demands are quite high.
Does the ESP32 really have the power
As the IDF provides the foundation for that and since there's an established lib for the Arduino the answer is likely a "yes", no? Haven't tried either of them, though.
