# HTTPS
Stability: 3 - Stable
HTTPS is the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL. In Node this is implemented as a
separate module.
## Class: https.Server
This class is a subclass of `tls.Server` and emits events same as
`http.Server`. See `http.Server` for more information.
## https.createServer(options, [requestListener])
Returns a new HTTPS web server object. The `options` is similar to
`tls.createServer()`. The `requestListener` is a function which is
automatically added to the `'request'` event.
Example:
// 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);
## https.request(options, callback)
Makes a request to a secure web server.
All options from [http.request()](http.html#http.request) are valid.
Example:
var https = require('https');
var options = {
host: '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);
});
The options argument has the following options
- host: IP or domain of host to make request to. Defaults to `'localhost'`.
- port: port of host to request to. Defaults to 443.
- path: Path to request. Default `'/'`.
- method: HTTP request method. Default `'GET'`.
- `host`: A domain name or IP address of the server to issue the request to.
Defaults to `'localhost'`.
- `hostname`: To support `url.parse()` `hostname` is preferred over `host`
- `port`: Port of remote server. Defaults to 443.
- `method`: A string specifying the HTTP request method. Defaults to `'GET'`.
- `path`: Request path. Defaults to `'/'`. Should include query string if any.
E.G. `'/index.html?page=12'`
- `headers`: An object containing request headers.
- `auth`: Basic authentication i.e. `'user:password'` to compute an
Authorization header.
- `agent`: Controls [Agent](#https.Agent) behavior. When an Agent is
used request will default to `Connection: keep-alive`. Possible values:
- `undefined` (default): use [globalAgent](#https.globalAgent) for this
host and port.
- `Agent` object: explicitly use the passed in `Agent`.
- `false`: opts out of connection pooling with an Agent, defaults request to
`Connection: close`.
The following options from [tls.connect()](tls.html#tls.connect) can also be
specified. However, a [globalAgent](#https.globalAgent) silently ignores these.
- `key`: Private key to use for SSL. Default `null`.
- `passphrase`: A string of passphrase for the private key. Default `null`.
- `cert`: Public x509 certificate to use. Default `null`.
- `ca`: An authority certificate or array of authority certificates to check
the remote host against.
In order to specify these options, use a custom `Agent`.
Example:
var options = {
host: '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) {
...
}
Or does not use an `Agent`.
Example:
var options = {
host: '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) {
...
}
## https.get(options, callback)
Like `http.get()` but for HTTPS.
Example:
var https = require('https');
https.get({ host: 'encrypted.google.com', path: '/' }, 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);
});
## Class: https.Agent
An Agent object for HTTPS similar to [http.Agent](http.html#http.Agent).
See [https.request()](#https.request) for more information.
## https.globalAgent
Global instance of [https.Agent](#https.Agent) which is used as the default
for all HTTPS client requests.
