At the moment, I am developing locally on a HTTPS-certified domain that I generated with GitHub - FiloSottile/mkcert: A simple zero-config tool to make locally trusted development certificates with any names you'd like.. This way, I can locally test everything that requires a secure site, starting with the Geolocation API and Service Workers. Is there any plan for an HTTPS support in netlify dev
?
we’ll probably want to support it, yes. i dont know what the plan is at the moment, but its been raised by a few people. are you able to get around it in userland?
Without Netlify Dev, yes, I still use my elaborated jekyll serve
:
JEKYLL_ENV=development jekyll serve --ssl-key ./boris.schapira.local+3-key.pem --ssl-cert ./boris.schapira.local+3.pem
with my custom cert.
With Netlify Dev, no, I don’t know how to make things work out.
Can you open an issue in GitHub - netlify/netlify-dev-plugin: Local dev server with functions, rules engine and add-on support? That would help us track this issue better. I think making local TLS optional should not be complicated, but it requires some thoughts around propagating certificates correctly and ensuring that all the http endpoints use secure connections.
Here you are, hope I’ve explained it clearly enough: Feature request: support secure HTTPS local dev environnement · Issue #455 · netlify/cli · GitHub
