<h1>HTTPS<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https" id="https_https">#</a></span></h1>
<pre class="api_stability_3">Stability: 3 - Stable</pre><p>HTTPS is the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL. In Node this is implemented as a
separate module.
</p>
<h2>Class: https.Server<span><a class="mark" href="#https_class_https_server" id="https_class_https_server">#</a></span></h2>
<p>This class is a subclass of <code>tls.Server</code> and emits events same as
<code>http.Server</code>. See <code>http.Server</code> for more information.
</p>
<h2>https.createServer(options, [requestListener])<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_createserver_options_requestlistener" id="https_https_createserver_options_requestlistener">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns a new HTTPS web server object. The <code>options</code> is similar to
<a href="tls.html#tls_tls_createserver_options_secureconnectionlistener">tls.createServer()</a>. The <code>requestListener</code> is a function which is
automatically added to the <code>'request'</code> event.
</p>
<p>Example:
</p>
<pre><code>// 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);</code></pre>
<p>Or
</p>
<pre><code>var https = require('https');
var fs = require('fs');
var options = {
pfx: fs.readFileSync('server.pfx')
};
https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200);
res.end("hello world\n");
}).listen(8000);</code></pre>
<h3>server.listen(port, [host], [backlog], [callback])<span><a class="mark" href="#https_server_listen_port_host_backlog_callback" id="https_server_listen_port_host_backlog_callback">#</a></span></h3>
<h3>server.listen(path, [callback])<span><a class="mark" href="#https_server_listen_path_callback" id="https_server_listen_path_callback">#</a></span></h3>
<h3>server.listen(handle, [callback])<span><a class="mark" href="#https_server_listen_handle_callback" id="https_server_listen_handle_callback">#</a></span></h3>
<p>See <a href="http.html#http_server_listen_port_hostname_backlog_callback">http.listen()</a> for details.
</p>
<h3>server.close([callback])<span><a class="mark" href="#https_server_close_callback" id="https_server_close_callback">#</a></span></h3>
<p>See <a href="http.html#http_server_close_callback">http.close()</a> for details.
</p>
<h2>https.request(options, callback)<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_request_options_callback" id="https_https_request_options_callback">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Makes a request to a secure web server.
</p>
<p><code>options</code> can be an object or a string. If <code>options</code> is a string, it is
automatically parsed with <a href="url.html#url.parse">url.parse()</a>.
</p>
<p>All options from <a href="http.html#http_http_request_options_callback">http.request()</a> are valid.
</p>
<p>Example:
</p>
<pre><code>var https = require('https');
var options = {
hostname: '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);
});</code></pre>
<p>The options argument has the following options
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>host</code>: A domain name or IP address of the server to issue the request to.
Defaults to <code>'localhost'</code>.</li>
<li><code>hostname</code>: To support <code>url.parse()</code> <code>hostname</code> is preferred over <code>host</code></li>
<li><code>port</code>: Port of remote server. Defaults to 443.</li>
<li><code>method</code>: A string specifying the HTTP request method. Defaults to <code>'GET'</code>.</li>
<li><code>path</code>: Request path. Defaults to <code>'/'</code>. Should include query string if any.
E.G. <code>'/index.html?page=12'</code></li>
<li><code>headers</code>: An object containing request headers.</li>
<li><code>auth</code>: Basic authentication i.e. <code>'user:password'</code> to compute an
Authorization header.</li>
<li><code>agent</code>: Controls <a href="#https_class_https_agent">Agent</a> behavior. When an Agent is used request will
default to <code>Connection: keep-alive</code>. Possible values:<ul>
<li><code>undefined</code> (default): use <a href="#https_https_globalagent">globalAgent</a> for this host and port.</li>
<li><code>Agent</code> object: explicitly use the passed in <code>Agent</code>.</li>
<li><code>false</code>: opts out of connection pooling with an Agent, defaults request to
<code>Connection: close</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The following options from <a href="tls.html#tls_tls_connect_options_callback">tls.connect()</a> can also be specified. However, a
<a href="#https_https_globalagent">globalAgent</a> silently ignores these.
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>pfx</code>: Certificate, Private key and CA certificates to use for SSL. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
<li><code>key</code>: Private key to use for SSL. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
<li><code>passphrase</code>: A string of passphrase for the private key or pfx. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
<li><code>cert</code>: Public x509 certificate to use. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
<li><code>ca</code>: An authority certificate or array of authority certificates to check
the remote host against.</li>
<li><code>ciphers</code>: A string describing the ciphers to use or exclude. Consult
<a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT">http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT</a> for
details on the format.</li>
<li><code>rejectUnauthorized</code>: If <code>true</code>, the server certificate is verified against
the list of supplied CAs. An <code>'error'</code> event is emitted if verification
fails. Verification happens at the connection level, <em>before</em> the HTTP
request is sent. Default <code>true</code>.</li>
<li><code>secureProtocol</code>: The SSL method to use, e.g. <code>SSLv3_method</code> to force
SSL version 3. The possible values depend on your installation of
OpenSSL and are defined in the constant <a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/ssl.html#DEALING_WITH_PROTOCOL_METHODS">SSL_METHODS</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>In order to specify these options, use a custom <code>Agent</code>.
</p>
<p>Example:
</p>
<pre><code>var options = {
hostname: 'encrypted.google.com',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
key: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem')
};
options.agent = new https.Agent(options);
var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
...
}</code></pre>
<p>Or does not use an <code>Agent</code>.
</p>
<p>Example:
</p>
<pre><code>var options = {
hostname: 'encrypted.google.com',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
key: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem'),
agent: false
};
var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
...
}</code></pre>
<h2>https.get(options, callback)<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_get_options_callback" id="https_https_get_options_callback">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Like <code>http.get()</code> but for HTTPS.
</p>
<p><code>options</code> can be an object or a string. If <code>options</code> is a string, it is
automatically parsed with <a href="url.html#url.parse">url.parse()</a>.
</p>
<p>Example:
</p>
<pre><code>var https = require('https');
https.get('https://encrypted.google.com/', function(res) {
console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode);
console.log("headers: ", res.headers);
res.on('data', function(d) {
process.stdout.write(d);
});
}).on('error', function(e) {
console.error(e);
});</code></pre>
<h2>Class: https.Agent<span><a class="mark" href="#https_class_https_agent" id="https_class_https_agent">#</a></span></h2>
<p>An Agent object for HTTPS similar to <a href="http.html#http_class_http_agent">http.Agent</a>. See <a href="#https_https_request_options_callback">https.request()</a>
for more information.
</p>
<h2>https.globalAgent<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_globalagent" id="https_https_globalagent">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Global instance of <a href="#https_class_https_agent">https.Agent</a> for all HTTPS client requests.
