Quick and dirty HTTPS servers (Python 3+ and NodeJS 6.9.1+)

https.js

const fs = require('fs');

// Do you need to create a self-signed certificate?
// $ brew install openssl
// $ openssl req -new -x509 -keyout localhost.key -out localhost.crt -days 365 -nodes

// Do you need a certificate signed by a trusted authority?
// Check out https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/

const options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('localhost.key'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('localhost.crt')
};

https.createServer(options, (req, res) => {

  console.log(req)
}).listen(5443);
