How to test with https locally?

[bebraw]

In order to secure my personal API, I'm using basic auth (i.e. just Authentication header) over https to secure it. You can find my current implementation at https://github.com/jsterlibs/jster-cf-api .

The question is, is it possible to run Denoflare with some dummy certificate at localhost? I know Deno is capable of this at least.

As a workaround I could add some kind of a development flag to disable the path when testing locally. It's not a big deal either as the current setup is nice.

Not yet, but should be straightforward to add. Two new args to serve (and associated config properties) to specify the cert pem and the key pem if https is desired.

Would this work for you?

[bebraw]

Definitely.

Alright, just implemented it: 98e91be

You can either specify them in the config file (via localCertPem or localKeyPem script config props) or via the command line (via --cert-pem or --key-pem). Command line trumps.

You can install denoflare as of that commit (ie using 98e91be89e88a9bfa350f8c50372ca87aa6efa00 instead of a release tag) to try it out. I tested it with certs generated with the mkcert tool and it worked as expected in a browser.

Thanks a lot, that works perfectly.

I documented the process a bit at https://github.com/jsterlibs/jster-cf-api#configuring-stargazers in case you want to pick something for the docs. I imagine it's good to show the exact commands for people and maybe discuss the worker side a bit (what checks to make etc.) as many don't know these things well. 👍
