GLoSS (Go SSL)

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

Why

Your production is on HTTPS, stop developing on HTTP!

Highlights:

• No dependencies. Just one self-contained single executable
• Works on a variety of platforms and architectures: Mac, Linux - Arm7(Raspi2)/Arm6(Raspi)/Amd64/386
• Passes the same headers you'd expect with any other reverse proxy ssl
  • "X-Forwarded-Proto": "https"
  • "X-Forwarded-For": "the.clients.real.ip"
• Doesn't require trusting a CA cert, only valid signing for the hosts you specify (default: *.local.dev)

Usage

1. Pick a hostname for your local development

• echo "127.0.0.1 local.dev" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts > /dev/null
• echo "127.0.0.1 foo.local.dev" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts > /dev/null

1. Create a certificate

• gloss setup

1. Import the certificate to your keychain (Mac specific instructions below)

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

1. Start using GLoSS

• gloss --map "*:3000,foo:4000" Maps foo.local.dev to port 4000, everything else to 3000

1. Visit https://foo.local.dev:4443

• Will return the content at localhost:4000 via HTTPS

Or just run gloss -h for more help
