https.createServer

History

https.createServer(options?, requestListener?): https.Server

Attributes

options:Object

Accepts options from tls.createServer(), tls.createSecureContext() and http.createServer().

requestListener:Function

A listener to be added to the 'request' event.

Returns:https.Server

// curl -k https://localhost:8000/
import { createServer } from 'node:https';
import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';

const options = {
  key: readFileSync('private-key.pem'),
  cert: readFileSync('certificate.pem'),
};

createServer(options, (req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.end('hello world\n');
}).listen(8000);

JavaScript

// curl -k https://localhost:8000/
const https = require('node:https');
const fs = require('node:fs');

const options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('private-key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('certificate.pem'),
};

https.createServer(options, (req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.end('hello world\n');
}).listen(8000);

JavaScript

import { createServer } from 'node:https';
import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs';

const options = {
  pfx: readFileSync('test_cert.pfx'),
  passphrase: 'sample',
};

createServer(options, (req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.end('hello world\n');
}).listen(8000);

JavaScript

const https = require('node:https');
const fs = require('node:fs');

const options = {
  pfx: fs.readFileSync('test_cert.pfx'),
  passphrase: 'sample',
};

https.createServer(options, (req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200);
  res.end('hello world\n');
}).listen(8000);

JavaScript

To generate the certificate and key for this example, run:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 -subj '/CN=localhost' \
  -keyout private-key.pem -out certificate.pem

Shell

Then, to generate the pfx certificate for this example, run:

openssl pkcs12 -certpbe AES-256-CBC -export -out test_cert.pfx \
  -inkey private-key.pem -in certificate.pem -passout pass:sample
