Answer 1

For those using webpack instead of gulp you can complete Driss Amri's answer with two changes:

modify the proxy.conf.json:

{
    "*": {
        "target": "https://localhost:8443",
        "secure": true
    }
}

this will redirect API requests to the new https address. Then alter also webpack file for instance here a webpack.dev.js modified example:

module.exports = webpackMerge(commonConfig({ env: ENV }), {
devtool: 'eval-source-map',
devServer: {
    contentBase: './target/www',
    proxy: [{
        context: [
            /* jhipster-needle-add-entity-to-webpack - JHipster will add entity api paths here */
            '/api',
            '/management', ...
            '/auth'
        ],
        target: 'https://127.0.0.1:8443',
        /* set secure to false here, otherwise self-signed certification cause DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT proxy errors */
        secure: false
    }]
},
