Rails 4: Rack SSL enforcer ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR with localhost

I am trying to implement the Rack SSL enforcer and I have added the Gem to my Gemfile along with adding the following like to config/application.rb: 

config.middleware.use Rack::SslEnforcer

When I run rails s and go to my localhost I get the ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR message. Is this because I am not supposed to run ssl locally (It does seem somewhat unintuitive but I also would like to just see if it (The SSL requirement) works before going to production)?

You get this error message because Webrick (or whatever server you are using) serves HTTP. To serve HTTPS, use thin with the --ssloption (start two instances to serve both HTTP and HTTPS):

thin start --ssl -p 443
thin start -p 80
