HTTPS is the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL. In Node.js this is implemented as a separate module.

Class: https.Agent[src]#

An Agent object for HTTPS similar to http.Agent. See https.request() for more information.

new Agent([options])#

• options <Object> Set of configurable options to set on the agent. Can have the same fields as for http.Agent(options), and

  • maxCachedSessions <number> maximum number of TLS cached sessions. Use 0 to disable TLS session caching. Default: 100.

    See Session Resumption for infomation about TLS session reuse.

Class: https.Server[src]#

This class is a subclass of tls.Server and emits events same as http.Server. See http.Server for more information.

server.close([callback])[src]#

• callback <Function>
• Returns: <https.Server>

See server.close() from the HTTP module for details.

server.headersTimeout#

• <number> Default: 40000

See http.Server#headersTimeout.

server.listen()[src]#
