HTTPS for localhost and nonstandard ports #33

Open Telofy opened 2 years ago

I often work with servers that I have running locally at netlocs such as localhost:3000. These typically support HTTPS (only).

In production we have a redirect from port 80 to port 443, but locally I often have the issue that I type localhost:3000 into my browser and wonder why it’s not working. Then I remember that the browser interprets that as http://localhost:3000, which the server rejects. So I have to manually type https://localhost:3000, which is annoying.

It’d be amazing if the extension could automate that too! (I don’t know whether it’s not already working because it’s localhost or because the posts are nonstandard.)
