Using the `manage.py runserver` command, when I try to access to
https://127.0.0.1:8000 (note the https protocol), the server throws an
error:
{{{

I don't know if there are limitations about having a local server
supporting the HTTPS protocol, but Django should at least throw a nicer
exception. This error happened to a colleague who modified in his browser
a production URL (which only works in https) to a local one, and the error
was quite cryptic at first sight.
