var crypto = require('crypto'),
        fs = require('fs'),
        http = require('http');

var port = 8080;

var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('privatekey.pem').toString(),
        certificate = fs.readFileSync('certificate.pem').toString();

var credentials = crypto.createCredentials({key: privateKey, cert: certificate});

var handler = function(req,res){
     res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
     res.end("");
};

var server = http.createServer();
server.setSecure(credentials);
server.addListener("request", handler);
server.listen(port);
console.log("Listening on port: " + port);
