HTTPS#

Stability: 3 - Stable

HTTPS es el protocolo HTTP sobre TLS/SSL. En Node se implementa en un módulo separado.

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.

Ejemplo:

// 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("hola mundo\n");
}).listen(8000);

https.request(options, callback)#

Hace una petición a un servidor web seguro. Opciones similares a http.request().

Ejemplo:

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);
});

El argumento options tiene las siguientes opciones

• host: IP o dominio del host al que hacer la petición. Por defecto 'localhost'.
• port: puerto del host al que hacer la petición. Por defecto 443.
• path: Ruta de la petición. Por defecto '/'.

• method: Método de la petición HTTP. Per defecto '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 behavior. When an Agent is used request will default to Connection: keep-alive. Possible values:
  • undefined (default): use 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() can also be specified. However, a globalAgent silently ignores these.

• key: Clave privada a usar para SSL. Por defecto null.
• passphrase: A string of passphrase for the private key. Default null.
• cert: Certificado público x509 a usar. Por defecto null.
• ca: Un certificado de autoridad o un array de certificados de autoridad para comprobar contra el host remoto.
• ciphers: A string describing the ciphers to use or exclude. Consult http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT for details on the format.
• rejectUnauthorized: If true, the server certificate is verified against the list of supplied CAs. An 'error' event is emitted if verification fails. Verification happens at the connection level, before the HTTP request is sent. Default false.

.

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)#

Con http.get() pero para HTTPS.

Ejemplo:

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. See https.request() for more information.

https.globalAgent#

Global instance of https.Agent which is used as the default for all HTTPS client requests.
