title: HTTPS for APIs : In Production
body: <p>I am using Playframework for an API solution I have built.  There are no HTML Pages served by my server, only API query responses in JSON.  I know that playframework can support https with a self signed keys using <strong><code>Dhttps.port=9443</code></strong>.
  It is written in the documentation that this is to be used only in Dev mode.</p>
  
  <p>Since, I dont have webpages being served (and hence no browser warnings for self signed keys) and I am bothered only about encryption for API calls, can I use this for production too?  or am I missing something ?</p>
