Connect and HTTPS

gistfile1.txt

== In earlier versions of Node, HTTPS with Connect was easy ==

var server = connect.createServer(middleware1, middleware2,...);
server.setSecure(crypto.createCredentials({
  key: myHttpsKey,
  cert: myHttpsCert
}));
server.listen(port);

== Since HTTPS has been split into a new module, it's more awkward ==

I ended up doing this...

var ConnectHttpsServer = function(layers) {
  this.stack = [];
  // Stack layers
  layers.forEach(function(layer){
    this.use("/", layer);
  }, this);
  // Set up the request handler using the parent's constructor
  https.Server.call(this, {
    key: myHttpsKey,
    cert: myHttpCert
  }, this.handle);
};
ConnectHttpsServer.prototype.__proto__ = https.Server.prototype;
ConnectHttpsServer.prototype.use = connect.Server.prototype.use;
ConnectHttpsServer.prototype.handle = connect.Server.prototype.handle;

var server = new ConnectHttpsServer(middleware1, middleware2,...);
server.listen(port);
