const crypto = require('crypto'), fs = require("fs"), http = require("http"); var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('privatekey.pem').toString(); var certificate = fs.readFileSync('certificate.pem').toString(); var credentials = crypto.createCredentials({key: privateKey, cert: certificate}); var handler = function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); res.end('Hello World\n'); }; var server = http.createServer(); server.setSecure(credentials); server.addListener("request", handler); server.listen(8000);

You can generate the privatekey.pem and certificate.pem files using the following commands:

openssl genrsa -out privatekey.pem 1024 
openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out certrequest.csr 
openssl x509 -req -in certrequest.csr -signkey privatekey.pem -out certificate.pem
