Local development with none-localhost domain without HTTPS

[fullheart]

Problem

For the locally hosted Convex backend, I use the domain http://site.convex.local instead of http://127.0.0.1:3211 for CONVEX_SITE_ORIGIN during development.

Unfortunately, I get this error with npx convex dev:

The pushed auth config is invalid: Invalid provider domain URL ‘http://site.convex.local’: must use HTTPS

This error is thrown by this validation code:
https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend/blob/main/crates/common/src/auth.rs#L208-L220

Workaround

As a workaround, I can set the env variable like this CONVEX_SITE_ORIGIN=http://127.0.0.1:3211.

Questions

1. How can this be resolved so that not only localhost is supported as a domain for local development without HTTPS?
2. But are there any side effects if I use http://site.convex.local in the frontend React app, but set env variable CONVEX_SITE_ORIGIN=http://127.0.0.1:3211 in docker container?

Thank you @nipunn1313 Does that mean that http:// addresses will also be permitted in future?
