Running a Spring Boot 3 API Locally on HTTPS with Source Code

In this code review, we'll review how we run our Spring Boot 3 API locally on HTTPS.

Most web browsers today will force you to use HTTPS making it impossible to develop a back-end API locally without it. In this video, we take a Spring Boot controller that runs on HTTP, and refactor the application to enable SSL and HTTPS locally -- in only a few keystrokes (bash scripting to the rescue!).
