XAMPP has apache http web server. It looks like they have a default SSL certificate in their distribution. Fitefox and other browsers complain something like "the certificate is not trusted" but they also give an option of taking the risk and going ahead. When you go ahead, you can access your site using https. This is good when a developer is developing a website on his local computer. Later, when going for hosting the website, the hosting providers do everything for you for supporting https. So, if whatever XAMPP has done in their distribution of apache http server, if the same can be done in official apache http server then this will be of great help during website development and testing.
