Package Exports
- https-pem
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (https-pem) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
https-pem
Self-signed PEM key and certificate ready for use in your HTTPS server.
A dead simple way to get an HTTPS server running in development with no need to generate the self signed PEM key and certificate.
WARNING
THIS MODULE CONTAINS THE PRIVATE KEY!
It is only ment as a debugging tool when you want to run an HTTPS server locally but can't be bothered generating your own keys!
Never use this if you want to keep a secret!
Installation
npm install https-pemExample Usage
var https = require('https')
var pem = require('https-pem')
var server = https.createServer(pem, function (req, res) {
res.end('This is servered over HTTPS')
})
server.listen(443, function () {
console.log('The server is running on https://localhost')
})Connecting
When connecting to an HTTPS server from Node.js that uses a self-signed
certificate, https.request will normally emit an error and refuse to
complete the reuqest. To get around that simply set the
rejectUnauthorized option to false:
var opts = { rejectUnauthorized: false }
var req = https.request(opts, function (res) {
// ...
})
req.end()If using curl to connect to a Node.js HTTPS server using a
self-signed certificate, use the -k option:
curl -k https://localhost:4443API
The https-pem module simply exposes an object with two properties:
key and cert.
pem.key
The private key (RSA).
pem.cert
The certificate.
