Steps to install a Comodo PositiveSSL certificate with Nginx.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

Here's how you validate a mailgun webhook in Node.js (as per the mailgun docs for securing webhooks)

'use strict';

var scmp = require('scmp')
  , crypto = require('crypto')
  . mailgunPrivateKey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'
  , mailgunTokens = {}
  , mailgunExpirey = 15 * 60 * 1000

Using server-sent events

Why and how?

  • Documentation: https://web.dev/articles/eventsource-basics
  • Use case: broadcasting data from server to browsers
  • Benefits:
    • Easy to understand and implement (only a few lines of code)
    • No library is needed
  • Can use same HTTP(S) authentication as elsewhere in the app (which can’t be done with websockets)
