使用openSSL構造一個支援https的nodejs伺服器
首先通過下面的連結下載openSSL
https://slproweb.com/products... 
下載完畢後，執行openssl進入互動式介面：
使用命令生成privatekey.pem 1024意思是1024位長度。
openssl genrsa -out privatekey.pem 1024
生成的privatekey.pem，開啟看一看長啥樣：
什麼是pem檔案？
.pem - Defined in RFCs 1421 through 1424, this is a container format that may include just the public certificate (such as with Apache installs, and CA certificate files /etc/ssl/certs), or may include an entire certificate chain including public key, private key, and root certificates. Confusingly, it may also encode a CSR (e.g. as used here) as the PKCS10 format can be translated into PEM. The name is from Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM), a failed method for secure email but the container format it used lives on, and is a base64 translation of the x509 ASN.1 keys.
簡單的說，就是一個金鑰檔案。
第二步，基於第一步生成的金鑰檔案生成一個證書請求：
openssl req -new -key privatekey.pem -out certrequest.csr
如果懶得維護證書明細，直接敲回車，會自動填入預設值：
最後基於第一步生成的金鑰和證書請求生成一個數字證書：當然頒發機構就是自己了，僅用於測試目的。
openssl x509 -req -in certrequest.csr -signkey privatekey.pem -out certificate.pem
至此我們有了privatekey.pem和Certificate.pem兩個證書了。
下面是我https伺服器的程式碼，很簡單，只有50幾行：
var app = require('express')();
var fs= require('fs');
var https = require('https');
var httpOptions ={
key: fs.readFileSync("keys/privatekey.pem"),
cert: fs.readFileSync("keys/certificate.pem")
}
var server = https.createServer(httpOptions, app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
console.log("https server listens on port 8080...");
server.listen(8080);
function print_env(){
console.log(process.env);
}
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
var response = "Hello World";
res.send(response);
});
app.get('/env', function (req, res) {
print_env();
// res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
var response = JSON.stringify(process.env);
res.send(response);
});
app.get('/redis', function (req, res) {
var redisClient = require("./redisClient");
function callback(response){
// var response = "ok";//JSON.stringify(process.env);
res.send(response);
}
redisClient.test(callback);
});
io.on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log("connect comming from client: " + socket.id);
socket.emit('messages_jerry', { hello: 'world greeting from Server!' });
socket.on('messages', function (data) {
console.log("data received from Client:" + JSON.stringify(data,2,2));
});
});
從程式碼裡不難理解這兩個pem檔案是如何用在https伺服器裡的。
最後在瀏覽器裡測試。因為是自己頒發的證書，沒有經過CA驗證，所以瀏覽器會顯示一個警告。
