My plugin needs to upload the image which user has selected to a server and fetch the processed image back. The problem is that now, while I develop, I do not have a proper SSL certificate and domain on my server, which is why Chrome (Figma Desktop) gives me “Mixed content error” or, when I create and use self-signed certificate, an “Untrusted certificate error”.
Normally this would be solved via adding the site/domain to the browser’s exception, but I cannot do that in this case, as Figma does not provide a way to change these settings. What can I do? Thanks.
You need sever your API with https protocol, which means you need a certificate for your API domain (It doesn’t matter if you’re in dev mode using localhost). Maybe you can get one in https://letsencrypt.org/.
Hello, _Hal. I understand perfectly how I can get a real HTTPS certificate, but this procedure requires one to have a domain name, for which you actually get the certificate. I think I will not make a mistake saying that most of the people who start to develop a plugin do not have a domain name and thus a possibility to install a real certificate.
While I can understand why access to most of the features of the underlying Chrome is restricted in the application, I’m frustrated by the fact that such a useful and necessary for development feature as adding web-source to HTTPS restrictions is also not available.
Sorry Nickolay I misunderstand what you mean. But you don’t need a https api when using http://localhost:3000 in dev. If you added hosts for localhost you can remove it.
I see your point and you are right. But still, behaviours can be a bit different when serving a request in localhost and in a remote server, so I would like to have an ability to test both scenarios, and lack of “add to exceptions” feature prevents me from doing so.
