How to securely test local/staging HTTPS project

Modern projects often support HTTPS and HTTP/2, moreover they can use Strict-Transport-Security: and Content-Security-Policy: headers which result in different behaviour for HTTP and HTTPS versions, or even completely forbid HTTP version. To develop and test such project locally, on CI, and at staging server we either have to provide a way to access it using HTTP in non-production environments (bad idea) or somehow make it work with HTTPS everywhere.

HTTP in non-production environments is a bad idea because we'll test not the same thing which will runs on production, and because there is a chance to occasionally keep HTTP enabled on production too.

HOWTO: Create Your Own Self-Signed Certificate with Subject Alternative Names Using OpenSSL in Ubuntu Bash for Window

Overview

My main development workstation is a Windows 10 machine, so we'll approach this from that viewpoint.

Recently, Google Chrome started giving me a warning when I open a site that uses https and self-signed certificate on my local development machine due to some SSL certificate issues like the one below:

	import trio

	async def test_client(value):
	stream = await trio.open_tcp_stream('127.0.0.1', 8000)
	async with stream:
	await stream.send_all(value)
	return await stream.receive_some(4096)

	async def start_server(**kwargs):
	async def _echo_handler(stream):
