Im trying to run my node server with https. I'm using express and socket.io.
This is my code for https:
var httpsPort = 443; var privateKey = fs.readFileSync(mykeypath'); var certificate = fs.readFileSync(mycertificatepath'); var credentials = {key: privateKey, cert: certificate}; var https = require('https').Server(credentials,app); var io = require('socket.io')(https); https.listen(httpsPort, function(){ logger.info('listening on *:' + httpsPort); }); app.get('/initGame', function (req,res){ var slots = require('./slots.json', 'utf8'); var userObject = { address : req.connection.remoteAddress, userAgent : req.headers['user-agent'] }; db.getPlayedGames(userObject,function(playedGames){ logger.debug(playedGames); if(typeof playedGames == 'undefined' ){ playedGames=0; }else{ playedGames = playedGames.games_played; } var spinsLeft = 10-playedGames; res.json({ spinsLeft: spinsLeft, slots: slots }); }); }); on my client its the following:
var myServer = "//" + document.domain + ":443"; $.get( myServer + "/initGame", function(data) { totalSpinsLeft = data.spinsLeft; $('#trysLeft').text(totalSpinsLeft); Seven.init(data.slots); }).fail(function(){ setTimeout(function(){ $('#spinner2').text('Fehler bitte neu laden!'); },3000); }); Right now im getting the following exception on my server:
uncaughtException: Missing PFX or certificate + private key.
EDIT: right now im getting
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.

Socket.IO can be used based on the Express server just as easily as it can run on a standard Node HTTP server. In this section, we will fire the Express server and ensure that it can talk to the client side via Socket.IO.
To start your https server, run node app. js (here, app. js is name of the file) on the terminal. or in your browser, by going to https://localhost:8000 .
It is hard to test your example without your key and cert files instead I am going to provide an example where I am using Express, socket.io, and https.
First I will create the key and cert files, so inside a directory run the following commands from your terminal:
The command below it is going to generate a file containing an RSA key.
$ openssl genrsa 1024 > file.pem Here you will be asked to input data but you can leave blank pressing enter until the crs.pem is generated.
$ openssl req -new -key file.pem -out csr.pem Then a file.crt file will be created containing an SSL certificate.
$ openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in csr.pem -signkey file.pem -out file.crt So in my app.js file where I am setting and starting the server notice that I am using the files file.pem and file.crt generated in the last step:
var fs = require('fs'); var https = require('https'); var express = require('express'); var app = express(); var options = { key: fs.readFileSync('./file.pem'), cert: fs.readFileSync('./file.crt') }; var serverPort = 443; var server = https.createServer(options, app); var io = require('socket.io')(server); app.get('/', function(req, res) { res.sendFile(__dirname + '/public/index.html'); }); io.on('connection', function(socket) { console.log('new connection'); socket.emit('message', 'This is a message from the dark side.'); }); server.listen(serverPort, function() { console.log('server up and running at %s port', serverPort); }); and then my public/index.html where I am consuming the server:
<!doctype html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <h1>I am alive!!</h1> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/socket.io/1.3.5/socket.io.js"></script> <script> var URL_SERVER = 'https://localhost:443'; var socket = io.connect(URL_SERVER); socket.on('message', function(data) { alert(data); }); </script> </body> </html> then finally if you access from the browser at https://localhost, you will see an alert with a message that is coming from the websocket server.
