localhost didn’t send any data.

Bug description
I have tried to make this run on 2 different Windows computers with different node versions and both got the same error "localhost didn’t send any data." I used npm to download it using the command "npm i -g --only=prod https-localhost". This happens to websites that do work with normal local hosting in python and node.js.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. download node.js on windows
2. use "npm i -g --only=prod https-localhost"
3. type 'serve' in dirctory with index.html file
4. go to local host url

Expected behavior
I expected the website to be running as it would on standard localhost

System information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 and Windows 7
• App version: node v14.16.0 and v13.14.0

Additional context
I would think it could be because I had the standard local host serve and they both use 'serve' as their command but I only had local host on the Windows 10

Hi @williamsokol, I’m not sure to understand correctly.
After npm i -g https-localhost have you run serve . in a directory with static html files?

Oops, I did "serve" in my directory on terminal, didn't add that bit. The file I was serving is this guys repo: https://github.com/Web3Modal/web3modal-vanilla-js-example where they actually recommend we use your package so I think it should be working.

The content is fine. You should be either inside the directory or specify the directory path.
Can’t you see the files in https://localhost or have you a connection security error? In the latter case, try run a terminal as administrator the first time you run serve. It needs it to create the certificate and add it as trust in the system. Subsequent attempt doesn’t need to be run on an administrator terminal since the certificate already exists.
