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"),
http = require("http");
var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('/home/privatekey.pem');
var certificate = fs.readFileSync('/home/certificate.pem');
var credentials = crypto.createCredentials({key: privateKey.toString(), cert: certificate.toString()});
var handler = function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
};
var server = http.createServer();
server.setSecure(credentials);
server.addListener("request", handler);
server.listen(8084);
But when I start my server, I get the following error:
node.js:116
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
TypeError: Object #<Server> has no method 'setSecure'
at Object.<anonymous> (/home/meshdev/public_html/js/node/server/test.js:16:8)
at Module._compile (module.js:380:26)
at Object..js (module.js:386:10)

at Function._load (module.js:273:12)
at Array.<anonymous> (module.js:399:10)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:108:26)
My server works great without the server.setSecure(credentials);
line. I am running node.js(V0.4.1).
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.
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);
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);
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);
});
