 <pre class="api_stability_3">Stability: 3 - Stable</pre><p>HTTPS is the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL. In Node this is implemented as a
 separate module.

 </p>
 <h2>Class: https.Server<span><a class="mark" href="#https_class_https_server" id="https_class_https_server">#</a></span></h2>
 <p>This class is a subclass of <code>tls.Server</code> and emits events same as
 <code>http.Server</code>. See <code>http.Server</code> for more information.

 </p>
 <h2>https.createServer(options, [requestListener])<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_createserver_options_requestlistener" id="https_https_createserver_options_requestlistener">#</a></span></h2>
 <p>Returns a new HTTPS web server object. The <code>options</code> is similar to
 <a href="tls.html#tls_tls_createserver_options_secureconnectionlistener">tls.createServer()</a>.  The <code>requestListener</code> is a function which is
 automatically added to the <code>&#39;request&#39;</code> event.

 </p>
 <p>Example:

 </p>
 <pre><code>// curl -k https://localhost:8000/
 var https = require(&#39;https&#39;);
 var fs = require(&#39;fs&#39;);

 var options = {
   key: fs.readFileSync(&#39;test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem&#39;),
   cert: fs.readFileSync(&#39;test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem&#39;)
 };

 https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
   res.writeHead(200);
   res.end(&quot;hello world\n&quot;);
 }).listen(8000);</code></pre>
 <p>Or

 </p>
 <pre><code>var https = require(&#39;https&#39;);
 var fs = require(&#39;fs&#39;);

 var options = {
   pfx: fs.readFileSync(&#39;server.pfx&#39;)
 };

 https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
   res.writeHead(200);
   res.end(&quot;hello world\n&quot;);

 <h3>server.listen(handle, [callback])<span><a class="mark" href="#https_server_listen_handle_callback" id="https_server_listen_handle_callback">#</a></span></h3>
 <p>See <a href="http.html#http_server_listen_port_hostname_backlog_callback">http.listen()</a> for details.

 </p>
 <h3>server.close([callback])<span><a class="mark" href="#https_server_close_callback" id="https_server_close_callback">#</a></span></h3>
 <p>See <a href="http.html#http_server_close_callback">http.close()</a> for details.

 </p>
 <h2>https.request(options, callback)<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_request_options_callback" id="https_https_request_options_callback">#</a></span></h2>
 <p>Makes a request to a secure web server.

 </p>
 <p><code>options</code> can be an object or a string. If <code>options</code> is a string, it is
 automatically parsed with <a href="url.html#url.parse">url.parse()</a>.

 </p>
 <p>All options from <a href="http.html#http_http_request_options_callback">http.request()</a> are valid.

 </p>
 <p>Example:

 </p>
 <pre><code>var https = require(&#39;https&#39;);

 var options = {
   hostname: &#39;encrypted.google.com&#39;,
   port: 443,
   path: &#39;/&#39;,
   method: &#39;GET&#39;
 };

 var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
   console.log(&quot;statusCode: &quot;, res.statusCode);
   console.log(&quot;headers: &quot;, res.headers);

   res.on(&#39;data&#39;, function(d) {
     process.stdout.write(d);
   });
 });
 req.end();

 req.on(&#39;error&#39;, function(e) {
   console.error(e);
 });</code></pre>
 <p>The options argument has the following options

 </p>
 <ul>
 <li><code>host</code>: A domain name or IP address of the server to issue the request to.
 Defaults to <code>&#39;localhost&#39;</code>.</li>
 <li><code>hostname</code>: To support <code>url.parse()</code> <code>hostname</code> is preferred over <code>host</code></li>
 <li><code>port</code>: Port of remote server. Defaults to 443.</li>
 <li><code>method</code>: A string specifying the HTTP request method. Defaults to <code>&#39;GET&#39;</code>.</li>
 <li><code>path</code>: Request path. Defaults to <code>&#39;/&#39;</code>. Should include query string if any.
 E.G. <code>&#39;/index.html?page=12&#39;</code></li>
 <li><code>headers</code>: An object containing request headers.</li>
 <li><code>auth</code>: Basic authentication i.e. <code>&#39;user:password&#39;</code> to compute an
 Authorization header.</li>
 <li><code>agent</code>: Controls <a href="#https_class_https_agent">Agent</a> behavior. When an Agent is used request will
 default to <code>Connection: keep-alive</code>. Possible values:<ul>
 <li><code>undefined</code> (default): use <a href="#https_https_globalagent">globalAgent</a> for this host and port.</li>
 <li><code>Agent</code> object: explicitly use the passed in <code>Agent</code>.</li>
 <li><code>false</code>: opts out of connection pooling with an Agent, defaults request to
 <code>Connection: close</code>.</li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 </ul>
 <p>The following options from <a href="tls.html#tls_tls_connect_options_callback">tls.connect()</a> can also be specified. However, a
 <a href="#https_https_globalagent">globalAgent</a> silently ignores these.

 </p>
 <ul>
 <li><code>pfx</code>: Certificate, Private key and CA certificates to use for SSL. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
 <li><code>key</code>: Private key to use for SSL. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
 <li><code>passphrase</code>: A string of passphrase for the private key or pfx. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
 <li><code>cert</code>: Public x509 certificate to use. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
 <li><code>ca</code>: An authority certificate or array of authority certificates to check
 the remote host against.</li>
 <li><code>ciphers</code>: A string describing the ciphers to use or exclude. Consult
 <a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT">http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT</a> for
 details on the format.</li>
 <li><code>rejectUnauthorized</code>: If <code>true</code>, the server certificate is verified against
 the list of supplied CAs. An <code>&#39;error&#39;</code> event is emitted if verification
 fails. Verification happens at the connection level, <em>before</em> the HTTP
 request is sent. Default <code>true</code>.</li>
 <li><code>secureProtocol</code>: The SSL method to use, e.g. <code>SSLv3_method</code> to force
 SSL version 3. The possible values depend on your installation of
 OpenSSL and are defined in the constant <a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/ssl.html#DEALING_WITH_PROTOCOL_METHODS">SSL_METHODS</a>.</li>
 </ul>
 <p>In order to specify these options, use a custom <code>Agent</code>.

 </p>
 <p>Example:

 </p>
 <pre><code>var options = {
   hostname: &#39;encrypted.google.com&#39;,
   port: 443,
   path: &#39;/&#39;,
   method: &#39;GET&#39;,
   key: fs.readFileSync(&#39;test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem&#39;),
   cert: fs.readFileSync(&#39;test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem&#39;)
 };
 options.agent = new https.Agent(options);

 var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
   ...
 }</code></pre>
 <p>Or does not use an <code>Agent</code>.

 </p>
 <p>Example:

 </p>
 <pre><code>var options = {
   hostname: &#39;encrypted.google.com&#39;,
   port: 443,
   path: &#39;/&#39;,
   method: &#39;GET&#39;,
   key: fs.readFileSync(&#39;test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem&#39;),
   cert: fs.readFileSync(&#39;test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem&#39;),
   agent: false
 };

 var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
   ...
 }</code></pre>
 <h2>https.get(options, callback)<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_get_options_callback" id="https_https_get_options_callback">#</a></span></h2>
 <p>Like <code>http.get()</code> but for HTTPS.

 </p>
 <p><code>options</code> can be an object or a string. If <code>options</code> is a string, it is
 automatically parsed with <a href="url.html#url.parse">url.parse()</a>.

 </p>
 <p>Example:

 </p>
 <pre><code>var https = require(&#39;https&#39;);

 https.get(&#39;https://encrypted.google.com/&#39;, function(res) {
   console.log(&quot;statusCode: &quot;, res.statusCode);
   console.log(&quot;headers: &quot;, res.headers);

   res.on(&#39;data&#39;, function(d) {
     process.stdout.write(d);
   });

 }).on(&#39;error&#39;, function(e) {
   console.error(e);
 });</code></pre>
 <h2>Class: https.Agent<span><a class="mark" href="#https_class_https_agent" id="https_class_https_agent">#</a></span></h2>
 <p>An Agent object for HTTPS similar to <a href="http.html#http_class_http_agent">http.Agent</a>.  See <a href="#https_https_request_options_callback">https.request()</a>
 for more information.


 </p>
 <h2>https.globalAgent<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_globalagent" id="https_https_globalagent">#</a></span></h2>
 <p>Global instance of <a href="#https_class_https_agent">https.Agent</a> for all HTTPS client requests.

	<li><code>Agent</code> object: explicitly use the passed in <code>Agent</code>.</li>
	<li><code>false</code>: opts out of connection pooling with an Agent, defaults request to
	<code>Connection: close</code>.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	</ul>
	<p>The following options from <a href="tls.html#tls_tls_connect_options_callback">tls.connect()</a> can also be specified. However, a
	<a href="#https_https_globalagent">globalAgent</a> silently ignores these.

	</p>
	<ul>
	<li><code>pfx</code>: Certificate, Private key and CA certificates to use for SSL. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
	<li><code>key</code>: Private key to use for SSL. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
	<li><code>passphrase</code>: A string of passphrase for the private key or pfx. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
	<li><code>cert</code>: Public x509 certificate to use. Default <code>null</code>.</li>
	<li><code>ca</code>: An authority certificate or array of authority certificates to check
	the remote host against.</li>
	<li><code>ciphers</code>: A string describing the ciphers to use or exclude. Consult
	<a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT">http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT</a> for
	details on the format.</li>
	<li><code>rejectUnauthorized</code>: If <code>true</code>, the server certificate is verified against
	the list of supplied CAs. An <code>'error'</code> event is emitted if verification
	fails. Verification happens at the connection level, <em>before</em> the HTTP
	request is sent. Default <code>true</code>.</li>
	<li><code>secureProtocol</code>: The SSL method to use, e.g. <code>SSLv3_method</code> to force
	SSL version 3. The possible values depend on your installation of
	OpenSSL and are defined in the constant <a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/ssl.html#DEALING_WITH_PROTOCOL_METHODS">SSL_METHODS</a>.</li>
	</ul>
	<p>In order to specify these options, use a custom <code>Agent</code>.

	</p>
	<p>Example:

	</p>
	<pre><code>var 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);

	var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
	...
	}</code></pre>
	<p>Or does not use an <code>Agent</code>.

	</p>
	<p>Example:

	</p>
	<pre><code>var 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
	};

	var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
	...
	}</code></pre>
	<h2>https.get(options, callback)<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_get_options_callback" id="https_https_get_options_callback">#</a></span></h2>
	<p>Like <code>http.get()</code> but for HTTPS.

	</p>
	<p><code>options</code> can be an object or a string. If <code>options</code> is a string, it is
	automatically parsed with <a href="url.html#url.parse">url.parse()</a>.

	</p>
	<p>Example:

	</p>
	<pre><code>var https = require('https');

	https.get('https://encrypted.google.com/', function(res) {
	console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode);
	console.log("headers: ", res.headers);

	res.on('data', function(d) {
	process.stdout.write(d);
	});

	}).on('error', function(e) {
	console.error(e);
	});</code></pre>
	<h2>Class: https.Agent<span><a class="mark" href="#https_class_https_agent" id="https_class_https_agent">#</a></span></h2>
	<p>An Agent object for HTTPS similar to <a href="http.html#http_class_http_agent">http.Agent</a>. See <a href="#https_https_request_options_callback">https.request()</a>
	for more information.


	</p>
	<h2>https.globalAgent<span><a class="mark" href="#https_https_globalagent" id="https_https_globalagent">#</a></span></h2>
	<p>Global instance of <a href="#https_class_https_agent">https.Agent</a> for all HTTPS client requests.
