https-local

A node module to automatically run https on localhost

var https = require('https')

var options = require('https-local').options()

var server = https.createServer(options, function (request, response) {
  response.end('If you see a green lock https is working!')
}).listen(3000)

server.on('listening', function () {
  console.log('Visit https://localhost:3000 and verify you see a green lock!')
})

The first time this is run it will install a root certificate and localhost certificare in the folder ~/.https-local. On MacOS the root certificate will be imported into your keychain and you will be prompted for your password. On other operating systems you need to install the root-cert.pem manually for your system.

Optional config parameters

Allows to extend the altNames values

require('https-local').options({
  altNames: [{
      type: 2,
      value: '192.168.1.1'
    },{
      type: 7,
      ip: '192.168.1.1'
    }]
})
