Starting HTTPS in Express 4.x

Question

I'm trying to start the server in HTTPS using Express 4.x. I tried

  var credentials = {key: privateKey, cert: certificate};
  var app = express(credentials);

But it's not working.

Answer 1

You could easily just do something like this:

var app = express(),
    credentials = {key: privateKey, cert: certificate},
    server = https.createServer(credentials, app);
server.listen(8443);
