To test changes made to lc.html locally, the following is required to bypass CORS protection by common web-browsers.

This guide assumes that a folder called HU_TNS_MSIP exists in the Ampel-frontend repo root folder and that is contains the config file channel.json.

  1. Add the following line to your /etc/hosts (use sudo):
127.0.0.1	www-zeuthen.desy.de

IMPORTANT: remove this line after testing.

  1. Create self-signed certificate for httpS:
  • IMPORTANT: Common Name must be 'www-zeuthen.desy.de'
  • This step is only required once
$ openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout newkey.key -out newkey.crt

Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
...........................+++
.......................................................+++
writing new private key to 'newkey.key'
-----
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:de
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:
Locality Name (eg, city) []:
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:dedew
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []:www-zeuthen.desy.de
Email Address []:
  1. Run python web server (file "test_webserver.py" in Ampel-frontend repo) :
  • sudo is required because we listen to port 443 which is < 1024
cd PATH_TO_AMPEL_FRONTEND_REPO
sudo python test_webserver.py
  1. Make sure you get the frontend config file channel.json (contact us) and place it in a folder named after your channel. For example:
ls HU_TNS_MSIP/
channel.json
  • This step is only required once
  1. Call the following URL in a browser (tested with firefox) with updated target and channel:

https://www-zeuthen.desy.de/lc.html?target=ZTF19aalbzoh&channel=HU_TNS_MSIP and explicitely add a security exception for this page (FF will complain about self-signed certificate)
