Issue
I’m using angular dart to build a web application, and when it comes to accessing user location feature such as geolocation, browsers like chrome enforce https.
When I deploy the web application the location api works because the connection is secure, but when I debug on localhost it is broken because (I assume) of the unsecure session.
Is there a way to configure the webdev generated http server to use somehow a self signed ssl certificate?
Is there any viable alternative?
Solution
Yes, --tls-cert-chain and --tls-cert-key flags were just added to webdev serve. I used this tutorial for setting up the cert and key: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-get-https-working-on-your-local-development-environment-in-5-minutes-7af615770eec/.
Then the following command served up the app at https://127.0.0.1:8080
webdev serve --release --tls-cert-chain path-to-cert/server.crt --tls-cert-key path-to-key/server.key
The changes are in webdev 2.5.0.
