Hey I am building a simple API server to handle some functionality for a chrome extension. But I need to the users of my extension/add-on to be logged in and for this I want to make the python api server HTTPS requests only. How would I go about verifying the certificate for my server from the chrome extension? Sorry for this broad ish question, I am very new to web based programming.
You shouldn't have to do anything special. Any HTTPS requests made by the Chrome extension will go through the same certificate verification as would any other request made in the browser.
