ssl

I live in Bend, Oregon. I woke up with the dumbest idea ever that there should be a little food truck map website and it should be called Vend, Oregon. It's not my finest idea, but hey, I'm full of those. Fortunately, we don't have to spend all day on this.

Let me start this off by saying this is not an ideal trick and one I hope no one else needs to use because it's a bad idea to work around a browser feature that's aimed to protect your security.

That said, I am in the process of testing a product and ran into a weird situation where our team had to revoke the SSL certificate we had assigned to our server. We're going to replace it but I have testing to do in the meantime and need access to our staging server, so waiting is kind of a blocker because, well, this message gets me nowhere.

I run most of my production sites with forced SSL, including CSS-Tricks. But locally, I've avoided getting SSL working properly. I've always avoided it, perhaps because it's not immediately obvious how to do it. It's also not that big of a deal since it's just local traffic. But hey, might as well make local work as close to production is possible eh?
