Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of API gateways, and in particular, relates to a method for implementing app embedded web page development through a virtual gateway. Background Art

[0002] Mobile applications are increasingly integrating web content to provide richer user experiences and dynamic features. To achieve this goal, developers need an effective way to embed web content into native mobile applications. Embedding web content is a common mobile application development model that allows developers to embed web pages or web applications into specific areas of native mobile applications, which can provide dynamic content, reduce development time, and simplify the update process.

[0003] However, there are also many disadvantages to using web content to embed apps. For example, in mobile application development, some applications require that embedded web pages must use the HTTPS protocol to ensure the security of data transmission. However, during the development phase, connections to the local development environment are usually non-HTTPS, which leads to challenges for developers when debugging and testing.

[0004] Current solutions usually involve configuring HTTPS certificates in the local development environment, but this may lead to cumbersome certificate management and configuration issues. The present invention aims to provide a simpler method to configure a virtual HTTPS certificate through Nginx to circumvent the limitations of embedded HTTPS web pages during the development phase. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a method for implementing app embedded web page development through a virtual gateway, so as to at least solve one problem in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0007] The method of implementing app embedded web page development through a virtual gateway includes:

[0008] In the development environment, generate a virtual HTTPS certificate through Nginx configuration;

[0009] After generating the virtual certificate, update the Nginx configuration file;

[0010] Add preset certificate verification rules to the Nginx configuration to ensure the proper use of virtual certificates;

[0011] HTTPS access is performed through the configured Nginx proxy.

[0012] Furthermore, the Nginx configuration is used to generate a virtual HTTPS certificate to simulate the basic properties of a real HTTPS certificate, including:

[0013] Public key: used to encrypt communications between the client and the server;

[0014] Private key: used by the server to decrypt communication data;

[0015] Certificate chain: simulates the real certificate chain structure and provides a hierarchical verification mechanism similar to that of a real certificate.

[0016] Furthermore, after the virtual certificate is generated, the Nginx configuration file is updated, including:

[0017] In the Nginx configuration file, associate the dummy HTTPS certificate with the server block in the local development environment. This includes the following steps:

[0018] In the Nginx server block, specify the path to the dummy certificate;

[0019] Define the ports and domain names that are allowed to be accessed by non-HTTPS environments to ensure that the development environment is not restricted by external HTTPS requirements.

[0020] Furthermore, the preset certificate verification rules are added to the Nginx configuration to dynamically select the application scenario of the virtual certificate according to different request conditions. The specific implementation method includes:

[0021] Configured in the server block through if or map directives, when the requested host name meets the predefined rules, the virtual certificate is enabled;

[0022] For requests that do not comply with the rules, they are downgraded to normal HTTP access or blocked.

[0023] Furthermore, the predefined rule includes localhost or a development domain name.

[0024] Furthermore, Nginx automatically selects the appropriate virtual certificate to respond to the request based on the verification rules.

[0025] Furthermore, the present solution discloses an electronic device, including a processor and a memory that is communicatively connected to the processor and is used to store executable instructions of the processor, wherein the processor is used to execute a method for developing an app-embedded web page through a virtual gateway.

[0026] Furthermore, the present solution discloses a server comprising at least one processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the processor so that the at least one processor executes a method for implementing app embedded web page development through a virtual gateway.

[0027] Furthermore, the present solution discloses a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements a method for developing an app-embedded web page through a virtual gateway.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the method for implementing app embedded web page development through a virtual gateway described in the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] (1) The method for implementing app embedded webpage development through a virtual gateway described in the present invention avoids the process of manually applying for a certificate from a certificate authority (CA) by generating a virtual certificate through an automated tool, simplifies the management of HTTPS certificates in the development phase, and enables the local development environment to seamlessly simulate HTTPS communication in the production environment;

[0030] (2) The method for implementing app embedded web page development through a virtual gateway described in the present invention tightly integrates the virtual certificate with the development environment through a series of automated configuration steps, eliminating the need for developers to manually edit multiple configuration files and supporting flexible development requirements (such as different projects or modules), thus avoiding tedious manual adjustments and potential configuration errors.

[0031] (3) The method of implementing app embedded web page development through a virtual gateway described in the present invention seamlessly integrates virtual certificates and Nginx proxy configuration, so that developers do not need to install tedious manual certificates and can directly access HTTPS pages through local Nginx, thereby improving development efficiency while ensuring security.

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute an improper limitation of the present invention. In the accompanying drawings:

[0034] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0036] The present invention relates to a virtual HTTPS certificate generation and application method based on Nginx configuration, which aims to provide a convenient HTTPS solution for the development environment and reduce the complexity of local certificate configuration. The method realizes the simulation of HTTPS access in the development environment through the steps of virtual certificate generation, Nginx configuration update, certificate verification rule setting, etc., and provides developers with a safe and efficient development experience. The specific steps are as follows:

[0037] Dummy certificate generation:

[0038] In the development environment, first generate a virtual HTTPS certificate through Nginx configuration. The generation of the virtual certificate simulates the basic properties of the real HTTPS certificate, including:

[0039] Public key: used to encrypt communications between the client and the server;

[0040] Private key: used by the server to decrypt communication data;

[0041] Certificate chain: simulates the real certificate chain structure and provides a hierarchical verification mechanism similar to that of a real certificate.

[0042] The key to this step is to quickly generate a trustworthy virtual certificate in the development environment through automated tools or scripts. The certificate can cover multiple domain names (such as internal domain names commonly used in the development environment) without relying on external certificate authorities (CA) for issuance, which greatly simplifies the construction of the local development HTTPS environment.

[0043] Nginx configuration update:

[0044] After generating the virtual certificate, you need to update the Nginx configuration file. In the Nginx configuration file, associate the virtual HTTPS certificate with the server block in the local development environment. The specific steps include:

[0045] In the Nginx server block, specify the path to the virtual certificate (such as ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key);

[0046] Define the ports and domain names that are allowed to be accessed in non-HTTPS environments to ensure that the development environment is not restricted by external HTTPS requirements and that the embedded web pages can be accessed directly locally through HTTP.

[0047] This step allows the application of virtual certificates to be seamlessly integrated with Nginx's load balancing and proxy mechanisms by precisely configuring Nginx's certificate path and associated server blocks, providing developers with a flexible configuration environment.

[0048] Certificate verification rule settings:

[0049] To ensure the reasonable use of virtual certificates, the present invention adds certificate verification rules to the Nginx configuration. This rule is used to dynamically select the application scenario of the virtual certificate according to different request conditions (such as host name, port, or path, etc.). The specific implementation method includes:

[0050] Configured in the server block through if or map directives, when the requested host name meets a predefined rule (such as localhost or development domain name), the virtual certificate is enabled;

[0051] For requests that do not comply with the rules, they are downgraded to normal HTTP access or blocked.

[0052] The innovation of this step is that it can flexibly switch the use of virtual certificates according to different development needs, ensuring that developers can access and debug in multiple environments (such as multiple projects or modules) at the same time.

[0053] Access in the development environment:

[0054] In the development environment, developers can access HTTPS through the configured Nginx proxy without manually configuring a real HTTPS certificate for each project or local environment. Nginx automatically selects the appropriate virtual certificate to respond to the request based on the verification rules.

[0055] This process significantly improves development efficiency by reducing the time and effort developers spend on HTTPS configuration. It also ensures that the security features of real HTTPS can be approximated in the simulation environment during the development phase, avoiding potential security risks during the development process.
