There was a problem hiding this comment.
Please add "This is passed directly to the https server" to the description so folks know what the purpose is, since there are some mixed-use child properties in the https property.

Add this configuration flag to request a client's certificate for 2-way PKI authentication.
Issue #1011
The motivation for this feature proposal is to allow create-react-app to enable the instance of webpack-dev-server to request the client certificate for 2-way PKI auth.
The issue actually doesn't lie in webpack-dev-server itself (configuration is much easier when using webpack-dev-server by itself), but rather that create-react-app only sends a boolean to webpack-dev-server. Here is the line I am referencing: https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/config/webpackDevServer.config.js#L81
From what I can tell, this means that the configuration options for webpack-dev-server are limited to the key, cert, ca, and passphrase when using create-react-app. Minimizing configuration seems to be create-react-app's goal (which I totally understand) but a feature like this would be nice to have in development.
I simply just added the requestCert field to the configuration if webpack-dev-server receives https as a boolean rather than an object. Defaults to false if it is no specified.
