pow is great, but many things in my app assume https, and it would be a pain to go through them all and add "if not dev environment". Is it possible to have pow serve https?

The easiest way I found was to use Tunnels: https://github.com/jugyo/tunnels

$ gem install tunnels
$ rvmsudo tunnels   # or just use sudo if using rbenv

No configuration required.
