test-certs

set of https certs and keys that expire in 100 years (for tests only).


Provides a set of keys and certificates for client, server, and certificate authority.
The Server certificate is for the localhost domain name, so you developers can test against their
local machine without generating certificate errors (you need to add the CA as a signing authority, see below).

``javascript
var certs = require('test-certs');

console.log(certs);
certs === {
ca: {
cert: '',
key: ',
},
server: {
cert: '', // Comes with proper extensions for an HTTP server
key: ''
},
client: {
cert: '',
key: ''
}
};
`

`javascript
var https = require('https');
var certs = require('test-certs');
var port = 37124; // random

var server = https.createServer(certs.server, function(req, res){/ handle request /});

server.listen(37124, cb);

// wait for the server to come up

var client = https.get({
host: 'localhost',
path: '/',
port: port,
agent: new https.Agent({ca: [certs.ca.cert]})
}, function(res) {/ handle response/});
