Is the Secure Canvas URL required for Localhost apps in development

Question

I am developing an application in my local machine.

I let users invite their Facebook friends with a Facebook request Dialogue.

The friends then click the link in their Facebook and are directed to the canvas page and then redirected out of Facebook to my local site.

Do I need to have an SSL certificate and if so how can I have one when I am developing locally so I can test my site?

Answer 1

From Facebook Oct.1 deadline blog post, SSL is not required for sandbox apps. So you can continue to develop apps without SSL certificate as long as you enable sandbox in your app.

Answer 2

In my case, temporary DISABLE secure browsing setting in 'Account Setting'.
