title: Localhost SSL connection to api ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to an API via Chrome in my dev environment. </p>
  
  <p>I have configured the localhost to run under SSL for testing, </p>
  
  <p>When I connect to the API with <code>https://</code> I get this error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
  <pre><code>request.js:132 OPTIONS https://api.thenounproject.com:80/icons/test
  net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
  </code></pre>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>To get the local dev running on https in Chrome I've had to enable :</p>
  
  <pre><code>chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there anyway around these pesky security issues in development environment? </p>
