Livereload snippet injection - https support about grunt-contrib-connect

[vladikoff]

Hey, sorry for the slow response.
HTTPS Snippet injection should work as 0.7.0 with something as basic as this:

 livereload: {
        options: {
          livereload: true,
          base: 'test/fixtures/',
          port: 8006,
          protocol: 'https',
          keepalive: true
        },
      },

However the certificate is valid only for the default 0.0.0.0. I have added additional docs on how to create a custom local hostname certificate here: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-connect#support-for-https

The grunt-contrib-watch part of this feature is blocked by this bug:
gruntjs/grunt-contrib-watch#290

This still seems to be a problem

[vladikoff]

please provide more detail. do we need to update watch?

https://local.vm:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1 returns a ssl error:

SSL connection error

Less
Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error code: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

going to the non-https: http://local.vm:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1 returns the actual script

ok its just a documentation issue. there should be a note here thats if you use this plugin in conjunction with grunt-contrib-watch, then you have to do the last example from https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-watch#optionslivereload

or

livereload:
          key: '<%= connect.options.key %>'
          cert: '<%= connect.options.cert %>'
