HAPI JS Node js creating https server

Question

How do I create a hapi http and https server, listening on both 80 and 443 with the same routing?

(I need a server which should run both on http and https with the exact same API)

Answer 1

It may not be usual to handle the https requests directly on the application, but Hapi.js can handle both http and https within the same API.

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var server = new Hapi.Server();

var fs = require('fs');

var tls = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem')
};

server.connection({address: '0.0.0.0', port: 443, tls: tls });
server.connection({address: '0.0.0.0', port: 80 });

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/',
    handler: function (request, reply) {
        reply('Hello, world!');
    }
});

server.start(function () {
    console.log('Server running');
});

You can redirect all http requests to https instead :

if (request.headers['x-forwarded-proto'] === 'http') {
  return reply()
    .redirect('https://' + request.headers.host + request.url.path)
    .code(301);
}
