[Interest] server certificate integration

[alex at golks.de]

hi,

why not simply read certificate related stuff from file/env and add
proper configuration using

     https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsslconfiguration.html

and when expiration is about to happen, reload the whole and configure
again?

regards,
alex
