Setting up SSL with sockjs

node.js, websocket

Solution

Okay I got it to work by changing the code to:

var http = require('https');
var sockjs = require('sockjs');
var fs = require("fs");

var options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('ssl.key'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('ssl.crt')
};

var echo = sockjs.createServer();
echo.on('connection', function(conn) {
    conn.on('data', function(message) {
        conn.write(message);
    });
    conn.on('close', function() {});
});

var server = http.createServer(options);
echo.installHandlers(server, {prefix:'/echo'});
server.listen(9999, '0.0.0.0');

Problem

How do I install an https/ssl certificate (and key) in sockjs (running on nodejs)? I'm currently running the most basic setup, this is, the "echo" example setup. It is a follows: ``` var http = require('http'); var sockjs = require('sockjs'); var node_static = require('node-static'); // 1. Echo sockjs server var sockjs_opts = {sockjs_url: "http://cdn.sockjs.org/sockjs-0.3.min.js"}; var sockjs_echo = sockjs.createServer(sockjs_opts); sockjs_echo.on('connection', function(conn) { conn.on('data', function(message) { conn.write(message); }); }); // 2. Static files server var static_directory = new node_static.Server(__dirname); // 3. Usual http stuff var server = http.createServer(); server.addListener('request', function(req, res) { static_directory.serve(req, res); }); server.addListener('upgrade', function(req,res){ res.end(); }); sockjs_echo.installHandlers(server, {prefix:'/echo'}); console.log(' [*] Listening on 0.0.0.0:9999' ); server.listen(9999, '0.0.0.0'); ``` Thanks!
