Appengine - Local dev server with https

Question

Goal: Reduce dev - feedback cycle by using App Engine dev server. For my use this must be available as a public HTTPS address. App Engine dev server only supports HTTP.

Answer 1

ngrok supports https urls to any http port, so you can just use ngrok to proxy an https domain to the GAE dev server port

If you have a paid for account, you can setup CNAMEs to use your own domains

ngrok http -hostname=dev.example.com 8080
