Or asked in a different way: The qwebsocketserver - example:

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebsockets.git/tree/examples/websockets/sslechoserver?h=5.15

already has the CERT- and KEY files included. Should it be possible to run this 
example server on my localhost and any other machine's localhost without the 
need to generate new certificates ?
