How to code simple subscriber/publisher for HTTPS

[Laeeq Khan]

I am trying to make a simple Bayeux publis her/subscriber system working on HTTPS, not HTTP.  Server comes up without error, but both subscriber and publisher return "trasport:down" error. Please see the code below and let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks very much.

-------- Faye HTTPS server -- index.js -------

const https = require('https');

const fs    = require('fs');

function requestHandler(req, res){

  console.log('request url = ', req.url);

  if(req.url == '/'){

    res.end('Home Page - 201');

  } else if(req.url == '/aaa'){

    res.end('AAA');

  } else if(req.url == '/bbb'){

    res.end('BBB');

  } else{

    res.end('Cant fullfill this request');

  }

}

serverOptions = {

  key  : fs.readFileSync('./key.pem'),

  cert : fs.readFileSync('./cert.pem'),

  passphrase : '1234'

}

const httpsServer = https.createServer(serverOptions, requestHandler);

httpsServer.listen(7000);

-------- Faye HTTPS subscriber --- subscriber.js ------

faye = require('faye');

function msgReceived(msg){

  console.log('Msg received');

  console.log(msg.text);

}

function srvrNotRdy(){

  console.log('===> Server is not ready');

}

const recvClient = new faye.Client('https://localhost:7000');

recvClient.bind('transport:down', srvrNotRdy);

recvClient.subscribe('/messages', msgReceived);

console.log('--- subscription complete ---');

-------- Faye HTTPS publisher --- publisher.js ------

const faye = require('faye');

function srvrNotRdy(){

  console.log('====> Server is not ready ...');

}

const publisherClient = new faye.Client('https://localhost:7000');

publisherClient.bind('transport:down', srvrNotRdy);

console.log('Going to publish message');

publisherClient.publish('/messages',{text : 'Test message - 7'});

console.log('Message published ...');

-------- Invocation results ---------

Server runs fine:

node index.js

Running subscriber returns 'transport:down' error

node subscriber.js

--- subscription complete ---

===> Server is not ready

Running publisher returns 'transport:down' error

node publisher.js

Going to publish message

Message published ...

====> Server is not ready ...

curl -k https://localhost:7000

Bad request
