How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

Lets get some context first.


	// CustomTime provides an example of how to declare a new time Type with a custom formatter.
	// Note that time.Time methods are not available, if needed you can add and cast like the String method does
	// Otherwise, only use in the json struct at marshal/unmarshal time.
	type CustomTime time.Time

	const ctLayout = "2006-01-02 15:04:05 Z07:00"

	// UnmarshalJSON Parses the json string in the custom format
	func (ct *CustomTime) UnmarshalJSON(b []byte) (err error) {

	#OSX Tweaks:
	===========

	- Most need reboot to show changes
	- Most of these tweaks are just for speed, but some are specific for development
	- All of these are to be ran in terminal. The commands to be copy and pasted start after the less-than sign.
	- I'm not responsible for any adverse effects to your computer, at all.


	##Increase the speed of OS X dialogs boxes:

	import os
	import re

	def fish_to_zsh(cmd):
	return (cmd.replace('; and ', '&&')
	.replace('; or ', '\|\|'))

	with open(os.path.expanduser('~/.zsh_history.test'), 'a') as o:
	with open(os.path.expanduser('~/.local/share/fish/fish_history')) as f:
	for line in f:

	server {
	listen 9999;
	# This is the key.
	error_page 405 =200 $uri;

	location /test {
	add_header 'Content-Type' 'application/json' always;
	alias /Users/me/abc.json;
	}
	}

	func getCookie(name string, r interface{}) (*http.Cookie, error) {
	rd := r.(*http.Request)
	cookie, err := rd.Cookie(name)
	if err != nil {
	return nil, err
	}
	return cookie, nil
	}

	func setCookie(cookie *http.Cookie, w interface{}) error {
