Simple Local HTTPS Proxy

local-ssl-proxy is a lightweight utility designed to create an HTTPS proxy for local development. It leverages a self-signed SSL certificate, allowing developers to access local HTTP servers over HTTPS. This functionality is critical for testing applications that require a secure context, such as those using OAuth, secure cookies, geolocation APIs, or needing to avoid mixed-content warnings. The current stable version is 2.0.5, last updated in March 2023. While specific release cadence isn't formalized, updates typically address dependencies or minor enhancements. Its primary differentiators are its ease of use via the command line for quick setup, support for custom certificates (e.g., generated by `mkcert` for a trusted browser experience), and the ability to manage multiple proxy configurations through a single file, making it a flexible choice for diverse local development workflows. It is strictly intended for local development and should never be used in production environments.
