# 1. Install nginx
  brew install nginx

# 2. Generate self-signed key/crt
  openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 \
    -keyout /etc/ssl/private/myssl.key \
    -out /etc/ssl/certs/myssl.crt
  
# 3. Edit nginx config located at: /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
    server {
        listen       443 ssl;
        server_name  localhost;
        ssl_certificate      /etc/ssl/certs/myssl.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key  /etc/ssl/private/myssl.key;

        ssl_session_cache    shared:SSL:1m;
        ssl_session_timeout  5m;

        ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;

        location / {
          # Or whatever port your server is running on
          proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        }
        
# 4. Navigate to https://localhost:443 and should forward request to proxy_pass url.  Browser might complain that site isn't trusted
  Just because using self-signed certs - fine for development
