# HTTPS
<!--introduced_in=v0.10.0-->
> Stability: 2 - Stable
HTTPS is the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL. In Node.js this is implemented as a
separate module.
## Class: https.Agent
<!-- YAML
added: v0.4.5
-->
An [`Agent`][] object for HTTPS similar to [`http.Agent`][]. See
[`https.request()`][] for more information.
## Class: https.Server
<!-- YAML
added: v0.3.4
-->
This class is a subclass of `tls.Server` and emits events same as
[`http.Server`][]. See [`http.Server`][] for more information.
### server.close([callback])
<!-- YAML
added: v0.1.90
-->
- `callback` {Function}
See [`server.close()`][`http.close()`] from the HTTP module for details.
### server.listen()
Starts the HTTPS server listening for encrypted connections.
This method is identical to [`server.listen()`][] from [`net.Server`][].
### server.setTimeout([msecs][, callback])
<!-- YAML
added: v0.11.2
-->
- `msecs` {number} **Default:** `120000` (2 minutes)
- `callback` {Function}
See [`http.Server#setTimeout()`][].
### server.timeout
<!-- YAML
added: v0.11.2
-->
- {number} **Default:** `120000` (2 minutes)
See [`http.Server#timeout`][].
### server.keepAliveTimeout
<!-- YAML
added: v8.0.0
-->
- {number} **Default:** `5000` (5 seconds)
See [`http.Server#keepAliveTimeout`][].
## https.createServer([options][, requestListener])
<!-- YAML
added: v0.3.4
-->
- `options` {Object} Accepts `options` from [`tls.createServer()`][],
[`tls.createSecureContext()`][] and [`http.createServer()`][].
- `requestListener` {Function} A listener to be added to the `'request'` event.
Example:
```js
// curl -k https://localhost:8000/
const https = require('https');
const fs = require('fs');
const options = {
key: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem')
};
https.createServer(options, (req, res) => {
res.writeHead(200);
res.end('hello world\n');
}).listen(8000);
```
Or
```js
const https = require('https');
const fs = require('fs');
const options = {
pfx: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/test_cert.pfx'),
passphrase: 'sample'
};
https.createServer(options, (req, res) => {
res.writeHead(200);
res.end('hello world\n');
}).listen(8000);
```
## https.get(options[, callback])
<!-- YAML
added: v0.3.6
changes:
- version: v7.5.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10638
description: The `options` parameter can be a WHATWG `URL` object.
-->
- `options` {Object | string | URL} Accepts the same `options` as
[`https.request()`][], with the `method` always set to `GET`.
- `callback` {Function}
Like [`http.get()`][] but for HTTPS.
`options` can be an object, a string, or a [`URL`][] object. If `options` is a
string, it is automatically parsed with [`new URL()`][]. If it is a [`URL`][]
object, it will be automatically converted to an ordinary `options` object.
Example:
```js
const https = require('https');
https.get('https://encrypted.google.com/', (res) => {
console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode);
console.log('headers:', res.headers);
res.on('data', (d) => {
process.stdout.write(d);
});
}).on('error', (e) => {
console.error(e);
});
```
## https.globalAgent
<!-- YAML
added: v0.5.9
-->
Global instance of [`https.Agent`][] for all HTTPS client requests.
## https.request(options[, callback])
<!-- YAML
added: v0.3.6
changes:
- version: v9.3.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/14903
description: The `options` parameter can now include `clientCertEngine`.
- version: v7.5.0
pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/10638
description: The `options` parameter can be a WHATWG `URL` object.
-->
- `options` {Object | string | URL} Accepts all `options` from
[`http.request()`][], with some differences in default values:
- `protocol` **Default:** `'https:'`
- `port` **Default:** `443`
- `agent` **Default:** `https.globalAgent`
- `callback` {Function}
Makes a request to a secure web server.
The following additional `options` from [`tls.connect()`][] are also accepted:
`ca`, `cert`, `ciphers`, `clientCertEngine`, `crl`, `dhparam`, `ecdhCurve`,
`honorCipherOrder`, `key`, `passphrase`, `pfx`, `rejectUnauthorized`,
`secureOptions`, `secureProtocol`, `servername`, `sessionIdContext`.
`options` can be an object, a string, or a [`URL`][] object. If `options` is a
string, it is automatically parsed with [`new URL()`][]. If it is a [`URL`][]
object, it will be automatically converted to an ordinary `options` object.
Example:
```js
const https = require('https');
const options = {
hostname: 'encrypted.google.com',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET'
};
const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode);
console.log('headers:', res.headers);
res.on('data', (d) => {
process.stdout.write(d);
});
});
req.on('error', (e) => {
console.error(e);
});
req.end();
```
Example using options from [`tls.connect()`][]:
```js
const 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);
const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
// ...
});
```
Alternatively, opt out of connection pooling by not using an [`Agent`][].
Example:
```js
const 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
};
const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
// ...
});
```
Example using a [`URL`][] as `options`:
```js
const options = new URL('https://abc:xyz@example.com');
const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
// ...
});
```
Example pinning on certificate fingerprint, or the public key (similar to
`pin-sha256`):
```js
const tls = require('tls');
const https = require('https');
const crypto = require('crypto');
function sha256(s) {
return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(s).digest('base64');
}
const options = {
hostname: 'github.com',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
checkServerIdentity: function(host, cert) {
// Make sure the certificate is issued to the host we are connected to
const err = tls.checkServerIdentity(host, cert);
if (err) {
return err;
}
// Pin the public key, similar to HPKP pin-sha25 pinning
const pubkey256 = 'pL1+qb9HTMRZJmuC/bB/ZI9d302BYrrqiVuRyW+DGrU=';
if (sha256(cert.pubkey) !== pubkey256) {
const msg = 'Certificate verification error: ' +
`The public key of '${cert.subject.CN}' ` +
'does not match our pinned fingerprint';
return new Error(msg);
}
// Pin the exact certificate, rather then the pub key
const cert256 = '25:FE:39:32:D9:63:8C:8A:FC:A1:9A:29:87:' +
'D8:3E:4C:1D:98:DB:71:E4:1A:48:03:98:EA:22:6A:BD:8B:93:16';
if (cert.fingerprint256 !== cert256) {
const msg = 'Certificate verification error: ' +
`The certificate of '${cert.subject.CN}' ` +
'does not match our pinned fingerprint';
return new Error(msg);
}
// This loop is informational only.
// Print the certificate and public key fingerprints of all certs in the
// chain. Its common to pin the public key of the issuer on the public
// internet, while pinning the public key of the service in sensitive
// environments.
do {
console.log('Subject Common Name:', cert.subject.CN);
console.log(' Certificate SHA256 fingerprint:', cert.fingerprint256);
hash = crypto.createHash('sha256');
console.log(' Public key ping-sha256:', sha256(cert.pubkey));
lastprint256 = cert.fingerprint256;
cert = cert.issuerCertificate;
} while (cert.fingerprint256 !== lastprint256);
},
};
options.agent = new https.Agent(options);
const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
console.log('All OK. Server matched our pinned cert or public key');
console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode);
// Print the HPKP values
console.log('headers:', res.headers['public-key-pins']);
res.on('data', (d) => {});
});
req.on('error', (e) => {
console.error(e.message);
});
req.end();
```
Outputs for example:
```text

Certificate SHA256 fingerprint: 25:FE:39:32:D9:63:8C:8A:FC:A1:9A:29:87:D8:3E:4C:1D:98:DB:71:E4:1A:48:03:98:EA:22:6A:BD:8B:93:16
