title: Set up webpack to run locally on a custom domain over HTTPS
body: <p>In order to use a module I want to integrate into my application (I am developing locally), I have to do two things:<br>
  1) Make my application run locally on HTTPS.<br>
  2) Run the application with a specific domain.  </p>
  
  <p>Both of these things should be pretty easy with the Webpack dev server I am using for local development, but for some reason it is not working as the documentation suggests.</p>
  
  <p>My <code>webpack.config</code> file is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>module.exports = {
    entry: './app/js/app.js',
    output: {
      path:'./app/js/',
      publicPath: 'https://specialurl.com/assets',
      filename:'bundle.js'
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The path I am pointing to has been added to my hosts file on my computer, so it should be just as valid as the localhost default.</p>
  
  <p>And my <code>package.json</code> file has this as it's start script for the dev server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"scripts": {
  "start": "webpack-dev-server --progress --colors --https",
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I made these changes and then I restarted with npm start after saving. The problem is that the server is still not running on https, and when I point my browser to the new link, it just shows nothing. All documentation that I have found makes it seem like this should work, so I must be missing something obvious.</p>
