Safari redirects local sites to https after update to 10.13.2

I am using MAMP to serve my local development sites. All was working fine until today, after I updated to High Sierra 10.13.2. Now all of my local sites are being redirected from (for example) http://testsite.dev to https://testsite.dev only in Safari. On Chrome my local sites still work fine.

I suspect this is related to the new Safari 11.0.2 (assuming it's a new version for 10.13.2) or it is related to my update to High Sierra 10.13.2, but I can't find any solutions. Please help.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

Same here, exact the same behavior. (.dev domain, since today, Chrome works, etc...). It seems not to be related to MAMP, as I have a different setup, though. As a workaround, I switched form .dev to .local, which mitigates the problem, but is annoying.

Long and short is .dev is now a generic Top Level Domain owned in full by Google.


.local, .test, .example should all work.

There are some indications that a new browser release for Chrome will also look for a certificate and/or redirect to https.


This is clearly an evolving issue. ymmv.
