## HTTPS HTTPS is the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL. In Node this is implemented as a separate module. ## https.Server ## https.createServer Example: // curl -k https://localhost:8000/ var https = require('https'); var fs = require('fs'); var options = { key: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem'), cert: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem') }; https.createServer(options, function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200); res.end("hello world\n"); }).listen(8000); ## https.request Makes a request to a secure web server. Example: var https = require('https'); var options = { host: 'encrypted.google.com', port: 443, path: '/', method: 'GET' }; var req = https.request(options, function(res) { console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode); console.log("headers: ", res.headers); res.on('data', function(d) { process.stdout.write(d); }); }); req.end(); req.on('error', function(e) { console.error(e); });
