TLS/SSL

ShadowNode provides asynchronous TLS/SSL networking module. You can use this module with require('tls') and create clients.

tls.connect(options[, connectListener])

• options {Object} An object which specifies the connection options.
• connectListener {Function} Listener for the 'connect' event.
• Returns {tls.TLSSocket}.

Creates a new tls.TLSSocket and automatically connects with the supplied options. The options object specifies the following information:

• ca {String}the CA certification.
• cert {String} the client certification.
• key {String} the key for cert.
• rejectUnauthorized {Boolean} optional, default is false.

Others extend from net.Socket's options.

Example

var tls = require('tls');
var port = 443;

var secureSocket = tls.connect({
  port: port, 
  host: 'www.google.com'
}, function() {
  secureSocket.end('GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n');
});

var response = '';
secureSocket.on('data', function(data) {
  response += data;
});

secureSocket.on('end', function() {
  console.log(response);
});

Class: tls.TLSSocket

This object is an abstraction of a TLS socket.

socket.destroy()

Ensures that no more I/O activity happens on the socket and destroys the socket as soon as possible.

socket.end([data][, callback])

• data {Buffer|string}
• callback {Function}

Half-closes the socket. The socket is no longer writable. If data is given it is equivalent to socket.write(data) followed by socket.end().

socket.write(data[, callback])

• data {Buffer|String} Data to write.
• callback {Function} Executed function (when the data is finally written out).

Sends data on the socket.

The optional callback function will be called after the given data is flushed through the connection.

Event: 'connect'

• callback {Function}

Emitted after connection is established.

Event: 'close'

• callback {Function}

Emitted when the socket has been closed.

Event: 'data'

• callback {Function}
  • data {Buffer} the decrypted buffer.

Example

var tls = require('tls');
var socket = tls.connect({host: 'www.google.com', port: 443});
var msg = '';

/* ... */

socket.on('data', function(data) {
  msg += data;
});

Event: 'end'

• callback {Function}

Emitted when FIN packet received.

Event: 'error'

• callback {Function}
  • err {Error}

Emitted when an error occurs.
