I am attempting to get an nginx,NodeJs,Express route working correctly on a server instance (Digital Ocean).
So far, this is the situation:
What currently works:
http://api.xxxxxx.com - switches to https and returns "Welcome to nginx!" page.
https://api.xxxxxx.com - returns "Welcome to nginx!" page
http://api.xxxxxx.com:3000/xxx/xxxxxxxxx/xx/xxx/xxx.xxx - returns the file byte array.
What doesn't:
https://api.xxxxxx.com:3000/xxx/xxxxxxxxx/xx/xxx/xxx.xxx - Error. "This site can’t provide a secure connection"
What I want to work:
https://api.xxxxxx.com/xxx/xxxxxxxxx/xx/xxx/xxx.xxx
I tried to add https to the bin/www
:
var https = require('https');
httpServer.listen(443);
httpServer.on('error', onError);
httpServer.on('listening', onListening);
But that resulted in the www process stopping in error.
I am obviously missing something. I am referencing an array of tutorials and docs that get me close but not directly to what I need. And I am new to all of these components, but this is what I'm working with:
- Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
- ExpressJs 4.16
- NodeJs 10.15.0
- nginx 1.10.3
What additional steps do I need to take in order to get the
https://api.xxxxxx.com/xxx/xxxxxxxxx/xx/xxx/xxx.xxx
request to work?
