https-detect

Detect whether a stream is https or http based on the first buffer on a stream and forward accordingly.

example

simple.js

Listen on :4050 routing http traffic to :4051 and https traffic to :4052.

var httpsDetect = require('https-detect');
httpsDetect({ http : 4051, https : 4052 }).listen(4050);

route.js

Fire up http and https servers and route traffic to them based on what the incoming messages look like.

var httpsDetect = require('https-detect');
var http = require('http');
var https = require('https');

var fs = require('fs');
var opts = {
    key : fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/../keys/privatekey.pem'),
    cert : fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/../keys/certificate.pem'),
};

var servers = {
    http : http.createServer(function (req, res) {
        res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/plain');
        res.end('I am an http server!\r\n');
    }),
    https : https.createServer(opts, function (req, res) {
        res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/plain');
        res.end('I AM TOTALLY SECURE AND STUFF YOU GUYS.'
            + ' SELF SIGNED IS TOTALLY SECURE, WHATEVER.\r\n');
    }),
};

servers.http.listen(4051);
servers.https.listen(4052);
httpsDetect({ http : 4051, https : 4052 }).listen(4050);

output:

$ curl http://localhost:4050
I am an http server!
$ curl -k https://localhost:4050
I AM TOTALLY SECURE AND STUFF YOU GUYS. SELF SIGNED IS TOTALLY SECURE, WHATEVER.
$ 

methods

var httpsDetect = require('https-detect');

httpsDetect(opts)

opts should have 2 keys:

• http - the http server [port,host]
• https - the https server [port,host]

host defaults to localhost for both keys.

If the option argument isn't an array it will be lifted to be [port].

install

With npm, do:

npm install https-detect
