## Using HTTPS in Development
> Note: this feature is available with `react-scripts@0.4.0` and higher.
You may require the dev server to serve pages over HTTPS. One particular case where this could be useful is when using [the "proxy" feature](#proxying-api-requests-in-development) to proxy requests to an API server when that API server is itself serving HTTPS.
To do this, set the `HTTPS` environment variable to `true`, then start the dev server as usual with `npm start`:
#### Windows (cmd.exe)
```cmd
set HTTPS=true&&npm start
```
(Note: the lack of whitespace is intentional.)
#### Windows (Powershell)
```Powershell
($env:HTTPS = $true) -and (npm start)
```
#### Linux, macOS (Bash)
```bash
HTTPS=true npm start
```
Note that the server will use a self-signed certificate, so your web browser will almost definitely display a warning upon accessing the page.
## Generating Dynamic `<meta>` Tags on the Server
Since Create React App doesnt support server rendering, you might be wondering how to make `<meta>` tags dynamic and reflect the current URL. To solve this, we recommend to add placeholders into the HTML, like this:
