SSL certificate testing

Is it possible to test a website under HTTPS during the development phase, i.e. without actually purchasing an SSL certificate?

Thanks, Mike

For windows developer, If you use IIS 7, you can use self-signed certificates easily. Try ScottGu's blog. If your dev environment is IIS 6, then you can use IIS 6.0 resource kit with this post.

Yes, you can either use self-signed certificates or create your own CA. OpenSSL comes with a test script for doing this (CA.pl, which even has its own man page). You would then have to import that test CA certificate into your test clients.
