Has anyone cracked how to get HTTPS working on the dev_appserver.py? I need it for Facebook canvas app testing. I’ve had a search of the docs and nothing suggests there’s a way to do it (sticking ‘secure’ in the app.yaml doesn’t nothing locally).
I was think there may be a way to proxy it, but has anyone got any experience of this?
The dev_appserver doesn’t support HTTPS. The only practical way to do this is to set up a reverse proxy in front of your app – such as with nginx or Apache – and have it proxy SSL traffic to your app.
