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
Geolocation requires a secure contextService Worker requires HTTPSNotification.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.

Omar Faruk Omar Faruk As a Product Engineer at Klasio, I contributed to end-to-end product development, focusing on scalability, performance, and user experience. My work spanned building and refining core features, developing dynamic website templates, integrating secure and reliable payment gateways, and optimizing the overall system architecture. I played a key role in creating a scalable and maintainable platform to support educators and learners globally. I'm enthusiastic about embracing new challenges and making meaningful contributions. Alvin Voo Alvin Voo I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing. My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream. What I bring to your project: Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins. Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams. Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last. Basel Issmail Basel Issmail ’m a Senior Full-Stack Developer and Tech Lead with experience designing and building scalable web platforms. I work across the full development lifecycle, from translating business requirements into technical architecture to delivering reliable production systems. My work focuses on modern web technologies, including TypeScript, Angular, Node.js, and cloud-based architectures. I enjoy solving complex technical problems and helping teams turn product ideas and prototypes into working platforms that can grow and scale. In addition to development, I often collaborate closely with product managers, business analysts, designers, and QA teams to ensure that solutions align with both technical and business goals. I enjoy working with startups and product teams where I can contribute both as a hands-on engineer and as a technical partner in designing and delivering impactful software.

Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month. What I bring to AI-built apps: - I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0 - I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture) - I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting - I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code. Based in Poland (CET timezone).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I generate a local certificate?

Use mkcert tool: 'mkcert localhost' creates cert.pem and key.pem.

Is self-signed cert safe?

For development only. Add certificate exception in browser or use trusted local CA with mkcert.
