auto_ssl_enabled boolean no Enables automatic generation of SSL certificates issued by Let's Encrypt for custom domains.
certificate file/string no The certificate in PEM format with intermediates following in most specific to least specific order.
key file/string no The certificate key in PEM format.

Create a new Pages domain with a certificate from a .pem file:

     --form "key=$KEY_PEM" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains"

Create a new Pages domain with an automatic certificate:

curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "domain=ssl.domain.example" \
     --form "auto_ssl_enabled=true" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/pages/domains"
{
