serve-https
===========
Serves HTTPS using TLS (SSL) certs.
Bundles a valid certificate for localhost.daplie.com - great for testing and development.
2015-06-30 23:11:01 +00:00
Also great for testing ACME certs from letsencrypt.org.
2015-06-24 21:44:42 +00:00
Install
-------
```bash
npm install --global serve-https
serve-https
```
```
2015-07-08 06:45:40 +00:00
Serving /Users/foo/ at https://localhost.daplie.com:8443
2015-06-24 21:44:42 +00:00
```
Usage
-----
2015-07-08 06:45:40 +00:00
* `-p <port>` - i.e. `sudo serve-https -p 443` (defaults to 8443)
* `-d <dirpath>` - i.e. `serve-https -d /tmp/` (defaults to `pwd`)
* `-c <content>` - i.e. `server-https -c 'Hello, World! '` (defaults to directory index)
* `--insecure-port <port>` - run an http server that redirects to https (off by default)
Specifying a custom HTTPS certificate:
* `--key /path/to/privkey.pem`
* `--cert /path/to/cert.pem`
* `--chain /path/to/chain.pem`
Note: you may specify a file containing all certificate authorities or use even `--chain` multiple times such as `--chain /path/to/intermediate-ca-1.pem --chain /path/to/intermediate-ca-2.pem`

Examples
--------
```bash
serve-https -p 1443 -c 'Hello from 1443' &
serve-https -p 2443 -c 'Hello from 2443' &
serve-https -p 3443 -d /tmp --insecure-port 4080 &
2015-06-30 23:11:01 +00:00
curl https://localhost.daplie.com:1443
> Hello from 1443
curl --insecure https://localhost:2443
> Hello from 2443
curl https://localhost.daplie.com:3443
> [html index listing of /tmp]
```
And if you tested <http://localhost.daplie.com:4080> in a browser,
it would redirect to <https://localhost.daplie.com:3443>.
(in curl it would just show an error message)
### Testing ACME Let's Encrypt certs
You can get free https certificates from letsencrypt.org (ACME letsencrypt)
and even a free domain from https://freedns.afraid.org.
```bash
serve-https -p 8443 \
--key /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.mooo.com/privkey.pem \
--cert /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.mooo.com/cert.pem \
--chain /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.mooo.com/chain.pem \
-c "$(cat '/etc/letsencrypt/live/test.mooo.com/chain.pem')"
```
```bash
curl --insecure https://test.mooo.com:8443 > ./chain.pem
curl https://test.mooo.com:8843 --cacert ./chain.pem
