I can think of a number of reasons why you would want to test SSL behavior on your local machine before running it on a production server. Setup can be pretty annoying for one.
I wrote a blog post on how to do this very thing a while back. I used stunnel, as Janusz mentioned, to test SSL redirect behavior on the development server. You need to run two dev servers one for http and one for https. You also need to make sure that you set HTTPS=on as an environment variable so that request.is_secure() returns true properly. http://www.ianlewis.org/en/testing-https-djangos-development-server Ian On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 7:43 PM, Gonzalo Delgado <gonzalo...@gmail.com> wrote: > El 01/03/10 07:07, cool-RR escribió: >> Adnan, I'm really baffled by your response.
