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

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

Yggdrasil

# Class: base::swap
#
# This class manages swapspace on a node.
#
# Parameters:
# - $ensure Allows creation or removal of swapspace and the corresponding file.
# - $swapfile Defaults to /mnt which is a fast ephemeral filesystem on EC2 instances.
#             This keeps performance reasonable while avoiding I/O charges on EBS.
# - $swapfilesize Size of the swapfile in MB. Defaults to memory size, but see Requires.
