GLoSS (Go SSL)

GLoSS is a simple HTTPS reverse proxy that allows you to easily develop and test on HTTPS locally

Highlights:

• No dependencies. Just one self-contained single executable
• Passes the same headers you'd expect with any other reverse proxy ssl
  • "X-Forwarded-Proto": "https"
  • "X-Forwarded-For": "the.clients.real.ip"
• Changes Host header to work with webpack-dev-server
• Doesn't require trusting a CA cert, only valid signing for the hosts you specify (default: *.local.dev)

Usage

1. Redirect your domain to local: echo "127.0.0.1 example.org" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts > /dev/null
2. Create a certificate: gloss setup --host example.org
3. Start GLoSS proxy, and map the domain to local port 8080: gloss --map "example.org:8080"
4. Visit https://example.org, which will serve the content from localhost:8080

Trust Certificate

Import the certificate to your keychain:

• open ~/.gloss/cert.pem
• Find the GLoSS cert and make it "Trusted"
