Description

Add the ability to configure the server to work with HTTPS by allowing the inclusion of certificates, similar to how the "Live Server" extension does

{
    /* VSC settings.json */

    "liveServer.settings.https": {
        "cert": "C:/certs/localhost.pem",
        "key": "C:/certs/localhost-key.pem",
        "enable": true
    },
    "liveServer.settings.host": "localhost",
}

or another mechanism to enable HTTPS functionality

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the local server configuration and existing server options, then compare them with the proposed cert, key, and enable settings. Done means the server can be configured to serve previews over HTTPS using certificates.
