javascript - HTTPS with mDNS -


i've been looking using mdns service discovery javascript application. basic idea making ajax request exampleservice.local , having return json relevant information.

as application loaded on https, ajax requests must made using https (to avoid non-secure content warnings etc). however, november 2015, not possible trusted ca issued certificate .local domains.

given new restriction above, there way use https mdns doesn't involve having user trust self signed certificates?

mdns names local network. globally issued certificates names on internet , can not used local names, because there contrary globally unique name on internet local names can same in different local networks , there no real owner of name can claim global certificate it.

this means can not use global trust settings (i.e. root ca) available in browser, must instead add local trust settings. can done having own local root ca , trust within browsers on local network or using self-signed certificates need explicitly trusted each user.

apart imagine other developers have same kind of idea. mean there several independent certificates same local names, because inside different local networks. using mdns names https make sense in local installation without kind of mobile clients.
