Listen on HTTP and HTTPS for a single express app

by

To enable your app to listen for both http and https on ports 80 and 443 respectively, do the following

Create an express app:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

The app returned by express() is a JavaScript function. It can be be passed to Node’s HTTP servers as a callback to handle requests. This makes it easy to provide both HTTP and HTTPS versions of your app using the same code base.

You can do so as follows:

var express = require('express');
var https = require('https');
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var app = express();

var options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/cert.pem'),
  ca: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/ca.pem')
};

http.createServer(app).listen(80);
https.createServer(options, app).listen(443);
