Node.js HTTPS Secure Error

Question

I am trying to create a secure node.js server to use with my site that is using ssl (https).

const crypto = require(\'crypto\'),
      fs = require(\"fs\"),
         


        

Answer 1

I have worked on the https secure with the ssl here is the working code for making the https and http

var fs = require('fs');
var http = require('http');
var https = require('https');
var debug = require('debug')('expressapp');
var app = require('../app');
var CONSTANTS = require('../config/CONSTANTS.js');
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var certificate =fs.readFileSync('ssl/server.crt',{encoding:'utf8'},function(err, data ) {
  console.log( data );});
var privateKey  = fs.readFileSync('ssl/server.key',{encoding:'utf8'},function(err, data ) {
  console.log( data );});


var credentials = {
  key: privateKey,
  cert: certificate,
  rejectUnauthorized:false
};

// UNCOMMENT THIS LINE AFTER INSTALLING CA CERTIFICATE
 //credentials.ca = fs.readFileSync('ssl/server.crt', 'utf8');;

var httpServer = http.createServer(app);
var httpsServer = https.createServer(credentials, app);

  httpServer.listen(CONSTANTS.PORT.HTTP, function() {
    console.log('HTTP server listening on port ' + CONSTANTS.PORT.HTTP);
   })  ;

httpsServer.listen(CONSTANTS.PORT.HTTPS, function() {
  console.log('HTTPS server listening on port ' + CONSTANTS.PORT.HTTPS);
});

this setup allowed me to connect to my socket.io server ssl (HTTPS/WSS)

http=require('https'),io=require('socket.io'),fs=require('fs');

var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('ssl/nginx.key');
var certificate = fs.readFileSync('ssl/nginx.crt');
var options = {key: privateKey,cert: certificate};
var server = http.createServer(options);
server.listen(3000);
io = io.listen(server);

HTTPS implementation was re-done in Node.JS 0.4. See the corresponding docs at nodejs.org.

Example from the docs:

var tls = require('tls');
var fs = require('fs');

var options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('server-key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('server-cert.pem')
};

tls.createServer(options, function (s) {
  s.write("welcome!\n");
  s.pipe(s);
}).listen(8000);
