Reddit: Enable HTTPS in Localhost with OpenSSL for a Node.js App

What are people’s thoughts on running local/development servers with/without SSL? Genuinely curious because I can see arguments both ways being valid.

Personally, I like to get as close to full production parity as possible, which of course means with SSL. It’s trivial to do if you take the time to read documentation, and the extra peace of mind when it comes time to hit the release button is nice.
