Google Cloud Platform run text-generation-webui inside a VM, not able to work with GUI when I use --ssl-keyfile and --ssl-certfile options

[sgrzegorz]

Hi I have deployed text-generation-webui into VM instance in Google Cloud Platform.
The VM has Ubuntu 20.04 installed and an enough amount of RAM.

Normally I start the server on VM as follows:
./start_linux.sh --api --listen --model mistralai_Mistral-7B-v0.1
Then I type in google shell
gcloud compute ssh --zone "europe-west3-c" "myvm" --tunnel-through-iap --project "myproject" -- -NL 5000:localhost:5000 -NL 8080:localhost:7860 -NL 5001:localhost:5001
Then I am able to normally work with GUI - and everything is working well.

For security reasons I need to run the script with certiificate.

./start_linux.sh --api --listen --model mistralai_Mistral-7B-v0.1 --ssl-keyfile mykey.key --ssl-certfile mycrt.crt

Then I again type in google shell
gcloud compute ssh --zone "europe-west3-c" "myvm" --tunnel-through-iap --project "myproject" -- -NL 5000:localhost:5000 -NL 8080:localhost:7860 -NL 5001:localhost:5001

Unfortunatelly then something is malfunctioning and I see the following errors when I start GUI preview on port 8080

How can I make the GUI working properly given that I need to use --ssl-keyfile and --ssl-certfile options?
