Laravel php artisan serves to simulate HTTPS

Question

I searched to find out if there is a way by which I can mock SSL for local development using the Laravel wizards to serve HTTPS without any luck.

Is this possible, and if so, how?

I understand that this is a very general question, but I do not see anything in this in the search.

Laravel uses the PHP5.4 php -S embedded development server ( http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php ) for the artisan serve team (see Illuminate\Foundation\Console\ServeCommand ). This only supports simple HTTP, so no, this is not possible. It is best to use a firewall installed to work with SSL / TLS.
