> non-SSL (HTTP): Running normally

> Never Put the .key file in any public accessible place. If founded, the cert will revoke. I don't want to require user registration in the future. issue: https://github.com/Upinel/localhost.direct/issues/18# *.localhost.direct - Wildcard Publicly Signed SSL Certificate with Subdomain Support
One Sunday morning, I found myself tackling the usual trifecta of local development issues:1. Using Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) in local testing environments
2. Dealing with SSL certificates in a local setting, where self-signed certificates are a nuisance
3. Implementing sub-domains in local development environmentsTo address these, I registered the domain localhost.direct and obtained a wildcard SSL certificate. I configured localhost.direct and *.localhost.direct to point to 127.0.0.1. Now, happy coding!
Eureka! I realized that I could share the private key and SSL certificate with developers globally at no extra cost. Thus, the *.localhost.direct project was born.
A project portal is available at https://get.localhost.direct/ for developers to download the most up-to-date SSL certificate bundle. This becomes the sole reserved subdomain. Updates to the wildcard SSL certificate will be posted, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
## Usage:
### For non-SSL userlocalhost.direct works immediately without configuration, functioning just like the traditional localhost, with added support for subdomain.localhost.direct.
### For user would like to use HTTPS (SSL) in their localhost development environment
Download or clone the .key and .crt files, then deploy them to your local web server to set up an SSL-enabled local development environment.
## Limitation:
**get.localhost.direct** is reserved and it is the only subdomain that you cannot use.## Download
