Is there a way to run an adhoc localhost HTTPS server?

Title says it all.

No it doesnt. Please explain what you're trying to do

Normally, sirv serves your static files using HTTP. Is there a way to serve it using https?

[lukeed]

If you mean sirv-cli (the CLI), then refer here: https://github.com/lukeed/sirv/tree/master/packages/sirv-cli#http2

If you mean sirv itself (the middleware), then no, because it's a handler/middleware function that runs in your existing server. The simplest thing you can do is:

const { createServer } = require('https');
const { readFileSync } = require('fs');

const options = {
  key: readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem'),
  cert: readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem')
};

const handler = require('sirv')('public');
createServer(options, handler).listen(PORT);

The sirv-cli package effectively does this, but better, through the http2 module.

Hope that helps~!

Thanks! It worked. Had to update sirv-cli to 1.0.1 because my-svelte-project template was using an older version. It would be great if there was an -adhoc option that does the certificates automatically!

Ah ya, it only exists in 1.x -- PRs are open to update those templates.

Will not auto scaffold certificates because there are 100 tools that already do that, and it's very system-specific
