TLS validation in local dev does not work

[afdy]

TLS validation on localhost does not work with the auto generated certificate.

To replicate:

• Follow install & setup, pass --cert-file

python3 manage.py runserver_plus --cert-file dev-cert.crt
Django version 5.0.4, using settings 'ourapp.devsettings'
Development server is running at https://ourapp.localhost:8000/
Using the Werkzeug debugger (https://werkzeug.palletsprojects.com/)
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

dev-cert.crt is generated, but does not work, a sample ERROR using wget:

wget -vvv --ca-certificate=$PWD/dev-cert.crt https://ourapp.localhost:8000
--2024-05-02 07:49:10--  https://ourapp.localhost:8000/
Resolving ourapp.localhost (ourapp.localhost)... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to ourapp.localhost (ourapp.localhost)|127.0.0.1|:8000... connected.
ERROR: no certificate subject alternative name matches
	requested host name ‘ourapp.localhost’.
To connect to ourapp.localhost insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.

Certificate looks valid, however I think wget, curl, python requests does not like the cn name?

openssl x509 -in dev-cert.crt --text --noout

I've been using this library and running it insecure as a result for a while but today it really bugged me so thought i would dig deeper.

If i generate the certificate manually, it works and validates fine. With minor modifications to serving.py to fix the SANS/CN fields, i can make it work ok:

Is this a bug? I could submit a pull request with my local change to serving.py, which appears to resolve?

If you already have a fix, then submitting a PR (or at least showing the patch in here) is always a good idea - also because that way we immediately see what (you think) is wrong with our code, which is often much faster than reading a long natural language description ;)
