By default, Laravel Valet doesn't use HTTPS. That's great, but if anything you're developing with locally requires HTTPS to be enabled, you're going to need it.
Luckily for us, it's easy to switch back and forth between a secured and non-secured site.
You just need to run this command
valet secure [site]
So for me, the command would be
valet secure codecourse
Now over in the browser, you'll be able to access (in my case) https://codecourse.test
You might need to tweak a few things, particularly if you're serving any assets from the http protocol, but generally everything should just work.
To disable, it's just as easy. Run the unsecure
command.
valet unsecure [site]
And that's it! You can now easily switch back and forth between HTTP and HTTPS with Laravel Valet.
