I stood node-solid-server up on windows using node-forge https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge#x509 self signing with x509 and also made some windows cmd’s equivalent to bin/solid and bin/solid-test no openssl or unix emulation needed. I guess I should fork; would be the easiest way to provide this to the forum?

Since I don’t have ssl certificates I use node-forge to self generate on windows.
