Allow self-signed certificate in electron app

[VigneshVSV]

The electron build is stored in a different repository here

It does not allow self signed certificates (and also probably unencrypted HTTP). Possible steps

• add logic that allows this in a safe way. User should try to open in new tab and allow certificate, just like a normal browser.
• open in new tab not working, so fix that as well
• Error message when certificate is not working is shown as "Network Error", improve that to suggest at least that the cause of the error might be the certificate.

I was trying to use the app with a self-hosted node-wot TD in localhost over HTTP
the error I get is related to mixed content
Blocked loading mixed active content “http://192.168.1.111:8080/thing”

Maybe allowing the app to be run in HTTP instead of HTTPS with a flag might already fix this?
I was running using npm run dev

Yes I think the issue is I forgot to add a HttpClientFactory apart from HttpsClientFactory within the node-wot client factories.

I am already testing, I will keep you updated in 10 minutes.

I was wrong, you are right.

I just need to add a flag that can run the app with HTTP instead of HTTPS. For time being, you could comment out mkcert plugin in vite.config.ts line 10.

There is a small config file called app.config.ts that can toggle SSL, you could try it out.

Pls ignore my previous comment that was in place of this one.
