support https

[tanhauhau]

I want to support https when starting the server, but not sure how should we specify the config for cert, key, etc.

We could put it into svelte.config.js, but i feel it might be duplicated from vite's https://vitejs.dev/config/#server-https ?

Do we want this for svelte-kit start or for the adapters?

Do we really want to worry about this, or want to encourage people to do SSL in Node? Generally people should be using a separate reverse proxy for this.

I do see people occasionally request https in dev, and having a built-in https method which generates certificate is a significant boost for them. Trying to do the same with Sapper right now is pretty dificult.

There are certain libs which won't work unless you can set up SSL in dev, so I'm in favour of this.

For prod, no, we should not be encouraging node SSL or self-signed certificates, so this shouldn't go near the adapters.

so does it mean, it's better to be in svelte-kit dev (allowing testing https in development mode) than svelte-kit start

[benmccann]

I would think if it were only going to be in one then svelte-kit dev would make more sense. Though if it's in one it probably makes sense to be in both
