SSL Wrapper on existing HTTP server

There are many scenarios where the Application is running in port 80 and we need to enable SSL on that. Each frameworks/languages provides a different ways to enable the HTTPS.

In this gist I created a small reverse-proxy server which handles the HTTPS connection and redirects to HTTP server internally

	const fs = require('fs');
	const tls = require('tls');
	const net = require('net');
	const server = tls
	.createServer(
	{
	key: fs.readFileSync('/opt/ssl/certs/key.pem'),
	cert: fs.readFileSync('/opt/ssl/certs/cert.pem'),
	},
	clientToProxySocket => {
	const proxyToServerSocket = net.createConnection(
	{host: 'localhost', port: '80'},
	() => {
	clientToProxySocket.pipe(proxyToServerSocket);
	proxyToServerSocket.pipe(clientToProxySocket);
	},
	);
	},
	)
	.listen(443);
