how to run a RESTful webservice over service stack on an https (ssl) channel

Question

I looked at the documentation and examples in the service stack library and googled around but couldn't find a way to create an ssl (https) web service. In particular in the example i run the console example (really cool) that extends the AppHostHttpListenerBase class. I would like to make it run with https.

You must set up a Server Certificate for the Http Listener, here's a walk through example of how to do that:
