Using HTTPS locally

[xiki808]

Can we run the dev server over https?

I created locally signed ssl keys using mkcert, by following this guide: https://web.dev/how-to-use-local-https/

After setting up the cert and key files to my root directory, I added this to my dev server config:

...
  sslKey: 'localhost-key.pem',
  sslCert: 'localhost.pem',
};

I still cannot access my local ( localhost:8000 ) using https protocol. Am I missing something?

Nevermind, I solved the issue. After looking the source code, I figured out that http2 must be set to TRUE in order to the SSL keys to work.

...
  http2: true,
  sslKey: 'localhost-key.pem',
  sslCert: 'localhost.pem',
};

Set it like that and it should work just fine. However, it would be helpful it this was mentioned in the documentation. Thanks :)

Thank for you reply! This works

Is it possible to remove the requirement to use http2: true in order to get SSL?

My use case is that I want to use koa-proxies (as recommended by the docs) but koa-proxies is based on http-proxy which has problems with HTTP/2.
