What?
Add basic HTTPS/TLS support for dev server only.
Why?
For anyone using the Web Crypto API, a secure browser context is required even in dev.
The latest version of Next.js does not support Hot Module Reload if you are using a custom server: #51162
How?
Add a basic
--https
flag with the option of specifying a cert & key via the command line or environment variable.NOTE: This only adds support for the Node dev server. It does not add https/tls support for Turbopack
NOTE: This does not address any of the underlying issues associate with #51162, it simply removes a use case for needing a custom server.
