Let me add a bit of clarification here, since you specifically asked about https://localhost

Using http with localhost is a mostly security context, but it has some quirks[0]. Using https://localhost will give you the full security context but then you're typically stuck either dealing with certs manually or using a proxy, like caddy. lcl.host should simplify your setup.

We're big fans of caddy by the way and even sponsor the project. Matt's doing amazing work over there.

Thanks! That reminds me we need to get your logo on our new homepage. I'll shoot you an email.
