In my projects I prefer use nginx reverse proxy for https protocol.

What would be advantages of realizing https inside boilerplate?

kevinburke commented 6 years ago

If you have nginx running on the same machine, that's great; you probably don't need HTTPS here.

Advantages are:

Your local setup is closer to your production setup so you can set Strict-Transport-Security headers without needing to branch based on environment.
You can see mixed content warnings locally the same way they'd appear in the cluster.
Go will serve HTTP/2 over HTTPS connections, but not HTTP connections.
