Simple HTTPS

Based on http-server (https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) simple-https is a zero-config https server for testing and dev.

How it works

When run the package automatically downloads certificates signed for 'localhost.rookout.com' which point to 127.0.0.1 And runs http-server (with --ssl, in addition to all other provided options)

Default Options:

These are applied automatically

• cwd - expose current directory
• -a 127.0.0.1 - listen on localhost
• --cors - enable CORS
• -r %current_dir% - report current dir via robots.txt
• -S or --ssl Enable https.
• -C or --cert Path to ssl cert file
• -K or --key Path to ssl key file

Options

--no-ssl Use HTTP instead of HTTPS

-p Port to use (defaults to 8080)

-a Address to use (defaults to 0.0.0.0)

-d Show directory listings (defaults to 'True')

-i Display autoIndex (defaults to 'True')

-g or --gzip When enabled (defaults to 'False') it will serve ./public/some-file.js.gz in place of ./public/some-file.js when a gzipped version of the file exists and the request accepts gzip encoding.

-e or --ext Default file extension if none supplied (defaults to 'html')

-s or --silent Suppress log messages from output

--cors Enable CORS via the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header

-o Open browser window after starting the server

-c Set cache time (in seconds) for cache-control max-age header, e.g. -c10 for 10 seconds (defaults to '3600'). To disable caching, use -c-1.

-U or --utc Use UTC time format in log messages.

-P or --proxy Proxies all requests which can't be resolved locally to the given url. e.g.: -P http://someurl.com

-r or --robots Provide a /robots.txt (whose content defaults to 'User-agent: *\nDisallow: /')

-h or --help Print this list and exit.
