I wonder about the HTTPS support in hotel.

I was able to find a few answers, but I think it should be more clearly described in the README

What are the limitations of hotel HTTPS support feature
The certificate will not be trusted and will not be shown as valid
Which browsers are supporting hotel's HTTPS feature?
Only some. E.g. Chrome. But not Safari
Do I need to import the Hotel SSL root certificate
No, this is not needed and does not help. Comands like $ security add-trusted-cert -k login.keychain-db ~/.hotel/cert.pem are useless

I wasn't able to get the certificate trusted on a Mac either... does anyone have a solution?

Trying to get fetch reqs working on React Native. Appears Android doesn't fetch anything http, consequently been trying for the last 36 hours to get a simple mock of my json-server live as a httpS://foo.bar but zero success.

I have a mock npm run startServer that kicks off an instance of json server with a db.json array, that works fine. But getting hotel to proxy calls to https://foo.bar and bounce them to http://foo.bar seems either not documented or not documented clearly.

Can someone update the ReadMe?

@Aid19801 I did not fully understand your issue. Maybe we can start off to collect what we know in a Q&A style here in this issue. Could you try to write a question (like in the issue above) and an answer for that as well as comment here?

The HTTPS certificate generated for hotel won't show as secure in Chrome (even if trusted in Keychain Access) as the subject alternate name is for "http://example.org/webid#me" rather than *.localhost.

@dteirney Same.

I think it's pretty clear how this doesn't work. I don't think it's at all clear how (or even if) this does work.

Sorry to revive this issue after 2+ years. Is there a fix or workaround to make the cert trusted on my development host? It is quite frustrating not able to develop the site in Safari
