OpenSSL / SSL Hosting in NiFi

Host a Web Page (index.html) via HTTP GET with 200 OK Status
Receive POST from that page via AJAX with browser data
Extract Content and Attributes
Build a JSON file of HTTP data
Store it To accept location in a phone or modern browser you must be running SSL. So I added that for this HTTP Request.

Use openssl to create your 2048 RSA X509, PKCS12, JKS Keystore, Import Trust Store and import in browser

Your web page can be any web page, just POST back via AJAX or Form Submit.
