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

Safer Magento Registration Emails

This is a little idea for a module maybe for a hackathon or something. Magento includes passwords in plain text in registration emails by default. In some cases you can just suppress the password, but in other cases you can't - for example if you have customer service reps creating accounts over the phone that need to generate password and send them to customers.

So - how about integrating with readthenburn.com to send email passwords, or perhaps generating temporary password that expire after a day or two, requiring them to use the forgot password if they didn't login by that time.
