Create secure websocket server in local machine

Question

I'm trying to use a local websocket server in order to communicate between PWA and windows app. My problem is that pwa requires secure connections and it won't work with a regular websocket server.

So my problem is mainly. How do I certificate my machine so it can be used with pwa?

I'm using websocket sharp to create websocket server and I don't know how to initialize it as secure server

Answer 1

Try make the websocket server listen on loopback ip 127.0.0.1 (not localhost) and a free port, I recently made a desktop application that runs SuperSocket server and it works fine with Https frontend.

Loopback is considered secure, but not localhost.

Example request: ws://127.0.0.1:8001
