# tls-python3(1)

run test servers and clients

## NAME

**tls-python3 - run test servers and clients**

## SYNOPSIS

```
tls-python3 server [-k KEY] [-c CERT] [-t TACK] [-v VERIFIERDB] [-d DIR] [--reqcert] HOST:PORT
tls-python3 client [-k KEY] [-c CERT] [-u USER] [-p PASS] HOST:PORT
```

## USAGE EXAMPLE

**$ tls-python3** *server* **-k serverX509Key.pem -c serverX509Cert.pem localhost:4443**

**$ tls-python3** *client* **localhost:4443**

## DESCRIPTION

**tls-python3 lets you run test clients and servers. It can be used for testing other** **TLS implementations, or as example code. Note that tls.py** *server* **runs an HTTPS** *server* **which will serve files rooted at the current directory by default, so be careful.**
