how to make https work in django REST framework on runserver port

[Rupam Hazra]

Hi, i am working django rest service using runserver on different port on http but i want to use the https service.

Please help.

for local development, why do you need https?  for staging and production, you should be using apache with mod_wsgi or nginx with uwsgi/gunicorn

You shouldn't be using the development server in production. That is
quite clearly stated in the documentation for good reasons.

You could set up a web server that forwards HTTPS requests to the Django
development server, but that would require pretty much the same amount
of work as doing it the proper way and set up your Django app as WSGI
application as explained here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/howto/deployment/wsgi/

Please just follow that guide instead.

Kind regards,
