Is this a regression?

Yes, the previous version in which this bug was not present was version 8

Description

What's the right way to run dev server using https locally? In previous version it was possible to add 'fake' certificate to express in server.ts:

export const createServerForEnv = () => {
  if (process.env.ENVIRONMENT === 'dev') {
    return createHttpsServer({
      key: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../src/ssl/localhost.key')),
      cert: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../src/ssl/localhost.crt'))
    }, (req, res) => {
      requestListener(req, res);
    })
  } else {
    return createServer((req, res) => {
      requestListener(req, res);
    });
  }
}

const server = createServerForEnv();

server.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server listening...`);
});

Now dev server is always running on http://localhost:4200 and it's not possible to change this. I am using npm run dev:ssr command which is for ng run app:serve-ssr script and @nguniversal/builders:ssr-dev-server as a builder

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

Run ng run app:serve-ssr script in basic angular universal repository.

Currently the SSR dev server only supports http.

If you want to debug SSL, you can use the serve-ssr which will spawn the Node.JS server directly.

@alan-agius4 is it possible to use udk:udk-runner with angular 9 for dev server? I used it in previous version (8.*) and everything was working fine with local ssl.

@pawsoj, I don’t see why you shouldn’t be able to use another builder.
