I have a windows server behind a NAT, so in order to view any of the sites the server is running I have a hosts file setup to point to point back to the right internal IP.
e.g.
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 www.mydomain.com
This is all fine and I can view the site http://www.mydomain.com on the local machine.
This issue I am having is that I cant view the https of the site on the local machine
e.g. https://www.mydomain.com returns an error, that it cant connect.
From any webbroswer outside the server enviroment it all works fine its just when I go to view the site view on the local machine.
What should I be adding to the hosts file / doing to make the site connect locally over SSL?
Nothing more should be added to hosts file. Just configure your IIS server to server https as well.
