Wordpress Multisite Localhost with SSL (for testing purposes only)

Question

I have followed through the instructions as referenced in Wordpress Multisite on Local vhost won't load domain-based sites.

Background Info

1. I have installed WAMP stack manually (not using XAMPP or WampServer)
2. The stack are working properly.
3. All installation folders were put under \apache\htdocs
4. WordPress, Drupal 7 etc have been installed successfully
5. I have created 127.0.0.1 localhost in \system32\drivers\etc\hosts
6. I have added 127.0.0.1:443 localhost perfectinduction operations.perfectinduction
7. Configured httpd.conf to remove comment include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
8. Added the following in \apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts-conf:

DocumentRoot "C:/vhosts/perfectinduction" ServerName operations.perfectinduction ServerAlias *. perfectinduction SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile C:/vhosts/perfectinduction/perfectinduction.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile C:/vhosts/perfectinduction/perfectinduction.key

9. I have added a new site whose fqdn is https://operations.perfectinduction.
10. Network admin showed the site is set up.
11. Click "visit site" gives a timed out error message.

I am at a loss as how to get local (secure though through self-signed cert) WordPress multisites to work.

I appreciate any help. Thanking all in advance.
