Support localhost SSL certificates? #353

Closed WillStrohl closed 1 year ago

WillStrohl commented 2 years ago

In my environment, I always build and test websites using SSL, so I don't run into any surprises when we push code to production where SSL is almost certainly there.

I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice if behind the scenes, nvQuickSite:

  1. Determines if the current site might be a localhost site (e.g., not .com or other TLD).
  2. If this might be a localhost domain, look for a localhost/IIS express certificate.
  3. If a localhost certificate is found, the SSL binding is added using it.

This would save me time from:

  1. Forgetting this doesn't happen with my nvQuickSite instances,
  2. Get confused for a moment. 😕
  3. Remember this site doesn't have SSL applied. 🤦🏽‍♂️
  4. Get annoyed and 🙄 at myself.
  5. Go into IIS and manually apply the SSL binding. 🌎 🔐

@WillStrohl I think this is a great suggestion. Since there are so many use cases for "non local" domain usage (since it really doesn't matter locally with the HOST file being updated to accommodate any domain), I think it would be best to add this as an option (perhaps a "sticky" user pref like many of the other fields) to the wizard experience. I think it could possibly be as simple as an Enable SSL checkbox. Thoughts?

I think that could work. Maybe we let this sit for a bit to let someone else give an opinion as well?

Oh yeah, of course.
