python - HTTPS with Flask-RESTful and mod_wsgi -

i trying restrict google apps api python client https, using flask-restful , mod_wsgi. api appears work, running errors when point web browsers https url.

i'm new python, flask, , mod_wsgi, have following pared-down example code:

/home/myself/testgoogle/testgoogle.py

#!/usr/local/bin/python import json import os import sys  directoryserviceobject import directoryserviceobject flask import flask, request flask.ext.restful import abort, api, resource apiclient import errors apiclient.discovery import build  directory_service_object = directoryserviceobject().service_object  app = flask( __name__ ) app.debug = true api = api( app )  class orgunitslist( resource ):     def get( self ):         all_org_units = {}          params = { "customerid": "my_customer" }          try:             all_org_units = directory_service_object.orgunits().list( **params ).execute()         except errors.httperror, e:             error = json.loads(e.content)             return error          return all_org_units  api.add_resource( orgunitslist, "/orgunitslist" )  if __name__ == "__main__":     app.run( host="secured.example.com", port=5001 ) 

/home/myself/testgoogle/testgoogle.wsgi

import sys sys.path.insert( 0, "/home/myself/testgoogle" ) testgoogle import app application 

/path/to/apache/ssl.conf

<virtualhost 256.256.256.256:5001> servername secured.example.com:5001  wsgiscriptalias / /home/myself/testgoogle/testgoogle.wsgi  errorlog /home/myself/error.log loglevel warn customlog /home/myself/access.log combined  <directory /home/myself/testgoogle>   wsgiprocessgroup testgoogle   wsgiapplicationgroup %{global}   order deny,allow   allow </directory>  </virtualhost> 

when point web browser https://secured.example.com:5001/orgunitslist list of google domain's organization units, have error "can't connect server 'secured.example.com'".

if first run "python testgoogle.py" api starts, using web browser ends "code 400, message bad request syntax", , browser hangs. assuming because script expecting http. of course, expected going same url using http works, , list of org units.

what missing? else need, or need differently, in order restrict api calls https?

i appear have fixed issue making following changes:

• testgoogle.py renamed testgoogleclient.py.
• testgoogle.wsgi renamed testgooglewsgi.wsgi , modified last line read from testgoogleclient import app application.

for reason, having both .wsgi , .py files same name seemed give me "app not found" errors.

i modified apache config:

• added listen 256.256.256.256:5001 , wsgisocketprefix /var/run/wsgi outside of <virtualhost> section.
• added following inside <virtualhost>:
  • sslengine on
  • sslcertificatefile /path/to/my/cert
  • sslcertificatekeyfile /path/to/my/key
  • wsgidaemonprocess testgoogleclient python-path=/path/to/python/site-packages
  • wsgiprocessgroup testgoogleclient
  • wsgiscriptalias / /home/myself/testgoogle/testgooglewsgi.wsgi

and top off, needed system administrators allow app through firewall.
