Methods

static member Agent (?options: AgentOptions) : Agent

@since v0.3.4

static member createServer<'Request, 'Response when 'Request :> IncomingMessageConstructor> (options: ServerOptions<'Request,'Response>, ?requestListener: Action<IncomingMessage,obj>) : Server<'Request,'Response>
// curl -k https://localhost:8000/
import https from 'node:https';
import fs from 'node: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

import https from 'node:https';
import fs from 'node: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);

@since v0.3.4

Parameter
optionsAccepts options from createServer, createSecureContext and createServer.
requestListenerA listener to be added to the 'request' event.
static member createServer<'Request, 'Response when 'Request :> IncomingMessageConstructor> (?requestListener: Action<IncomingMessage,obj>) : Server<'Request,'Response>
// curl -k https://localhost:8000/
import https from 'node:https';
import fs from 'node: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

import https from 'node:https';
import fs from 'node: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);

@since v0.3.4

Parameter
optionsAccepts options from createServer, createSecureContext and createServer.
requestListenerA listener to be added to the 'request' event.
static member get (url: U2<string,URL>, options: RequestOptions, ?callback: (IncomingMessage -> unit)) : ClientRequest

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.

import https from 'node: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);
});

@since v0.3.6

Parameter
optionsAccepts the same options as {@link request}, with the method always set to GET.
static member get (options: U3<string,RequestOptions,URL>, ?callback: (IncomingMessage -> unit)) : ClientRequest

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.

import https from 'node: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);
});

@since v0.3.6

Parameter
optionsAccepts the same options as {@link request}, with the method always set to GET.
static member request (url: U2<string,URL>, options: RequestOptions, ?callback: (IncomingMessage -> unit)) : ClientRequest

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, highWaterMark.

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.

https.request() returns an instance of the http.ClientRequest class. The ClientRequest instance is a writable stream. If one needs to upload a file with a POST request, then write to the ClientRequest object.

import https from 'node: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():

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.

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:

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 topin-sha256):

import tls from 'node:tls';
import https from 'node:https';
import crypto from 'node: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-sha256 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 than 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();
