How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

  • Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

  • Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

Use U+200B to evade Twitter's DM malware flagging

Use this bookmarklet to escape the URL of the current page and evade Twitter's broken malware link flagging. It prepends all periods with a zero-width space, which Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all seem to ignore. Twitter's server won't recognize it as a link (yet), but the Twitter client will, which means it remains clickable in the DM pane.

For example: https://twitter.com/ will get flagged as malware in a DM, while https://twitter​.com/ won't. They look the same, but the latter has a ZWSP before the . in .com.

PostgreSQL command line cheatsheet

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
