https for localhost:8080

Question

I am trying to develop a facebook app written in Python running on Google App Engine, so i need to make my http://localhost:8080 to https://localhost:8080 since facebook is aski

Answer 1

I use stunnel to proxy my https request on localserver. I run my localserver on 127.0.0.1:8000 and have configured stunnel with

[https]
accept  = 8001
connect = 8000

so it responds to https on 127.0.0.1:8001. I have configured the FB app with the above 2 ips. Works nicely. For windows, you can find the installer at here

You need to configure 2 facebook apps. 1 for the production. 1 for the local. Use the host ip to return different APP_ID for different apps on local and production.
