Dev Server HTTPS Needed for Secure Features

Features requiring HTTPS (geolocation, service workers, secure cookies) don't work on localhost:5173. Browser blocks insecure context APIs. Need to test HTTPS-only features in development.

Development typically uses HTTP, but some APIs require HTTPS. Self-signed certificates enable local HTTPS testing.

Error Messages You Might See

Geolocation requires a secure context Service Worker requires HTTPS Notification.permission requires HTTPS

Common Causes

  1. Dev server only running HTTP, not HTTPS
  2. No local certificate for HTTPS
  3. Browser rejects self-signed certificate
  4. Unsupported feature from non-HTTPS context
  5. Mixed HTTP/HTTPS requests (mixed content)

How to Fix It

Configure HTTPS in vite.config.js:

import fs from 'fs';

export default {
  server: {
    https: {
      key: fs.readFileSync('.cert/key.pem'),
      cert: fs.readFileSync('.cert/cert.pem')
    }
  }
}

Generate self-signed cert: mkcert localhost

Or use localhost.run or ngrok for public HTTPS tunnel.
