Check out [these](https://www.wowza.com/docs/ssl) articles. You will need to use streamlock here.
_Note: this is different from have https in your regular website (web pages)._

Hello,
I have a method after trying this you will be eligible to create https easily.
To create an HTTPS server, you need two things: an SSL certificate, and built-in `https` Node.js module.
We need to start out with a word about SSL certificates. Speaking generally, there are two kinds of certificates: those signed by a ‘Certificate Authority’, or CA, and ‘self-signed certificates’. A Certificate Authority is a trusted source for an SSL certificate, and using a certificate from a CA allows your users to trust the identity of your website. In most cases, you would want to use a CA-signed certificate in a production environment - for testing purposes, however, a self-signed certificate will do just fine.
To generate a self-signed certificate, run the following in your shell:
```auto
openssl genrsa -out key.pem
openssl req -new -key key.pem -out csr.pem
openssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in csr.pem -signkey key.pem -out cert.pem
rm csr.pem
```
This should leave you with two files, `cert.pem` (the certificate) and `key.pem` (the private key). Put these files in the same directory as your Node.js server file. This is all you need for a SSL connection. So now you set up a quick hello world example (the biggest difference between https and is the `options` parameter):
```auto
const https = require('https');
const fs = require('fs');
const options = {
key: fs.readFileSync('key.pem'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('cert.pem')
};
https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200);
res.end("hello world\n");
}).listen(8000);
NODE PRO TIP: Note `fs.readFileSync` - unlike `fs.readFile` , `fs.readFileSync` will block the entire process until it completes. In situations like this - loading vital configuration data - the `sync` functions are okay. In a busy server, however, using a synchronous function during a request will force the server to deal with the requests one by one!
> To start your https server, run `node app.js` (here, app.js is name of the file) on the terminal.
Now that your server is set up and started, you should be able to get the file with curl:
```
If it does not work you can even try another method that is Edirtorsmodapk
