Well this is timely. I spent several hours today trying to get local https working. I needed it because iOS Safari will only let you make getUserMedia (WebRTC) requests for the webcam over secure connections. I needed access to the webcam because Safari WebRTC won't give you access to other browsers on your LAN for data channels (which have nothing to do with your webcam) unless the user gives permission to use the webcam[0]. I needed access to LAN data channels because I'm working on a multiplayer game that I'd like to work on the major browsers. I had given up and finally decided to just use my VPS with Let's Encrypt for testing iOS, but maybe I'll give this a try. Worst case it doesn't work.

In Show HN: Mkcert – Valid HTTPS certificates for localhost

It's in many CLs, but here is an example of one: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/7c98bab0212... Further, we recently open sourced our own version of the extension and put it on github: https://github.com/webrtc/samples/tree/master/src/content/ex... And we intend to keep this advanced control, and perhaps more in the future, well-supported long-term.
