sample-nodejs-host-client
This sample shows how to pass JSON data from a client securely to a host.
Install
This project uses Express to host the server, you can install it like so:
npm install
Host
node ./host.js
Test it in your browser -- go to https://localhost:8443. It will complain about
a self signed certificate, ignore it and proceed. The insecure HTTP URL will also
work.
It's technically insecure to use these publicly provided certificates. To generate fresh ones, execute:
openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem
When you go to https://localhost:8443/api/gps, your browser makes a GET request,
so it will dump the data the server has stored. The client application makes POST
requests, so it will store the data onto the server.
Client
node ./client.js`
