Yes

Description

I am trying to run my Angular application with a custom SSL configuration using ng serve. My angular.json serve configuration looks like this:

"serve": { "builder": "@angular/build:dev-server", "options": { "port": 4444, "ssl": true, "sslKey": "./ssl/subdomain.domain.com-key.pem", "sslCert": "./ssl/subdomain.domain.com.pem", "host": "subdomain.domain.com" }, "configurations": { "production": { "buildTarget": "frontend:build:production" }, "staging": { "buildTarget": "frontend:build:staging" }, "development": { "buildTarget": "frontend:build:development" } }, "defaultConfiguration": "development" } 

When I run ng serve and access the URL https://subdomain.domain.com:4444, I encounter an error in the terminal.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Configure angular.json as above with custom SSL certificates (I generated them using mkcert)
  2. Run ng serve.
  3. Open https://subdomain.domain.com:4444 in the browser.

Expected behavior:
The Angular application should serve over HTTPS on the specified port with the provided SSL certificate.

Actual behavior:
An error occurs in the terminal when accessing the URL and the site never loads.

Please provide a link to a minimal reproduction of the bug
