HTTPS support for C9

[avgcoderlife]

Hello

First of all thanks to for the superb cloud IDE :)

I want to enable HTTPS support for the IDE. i.e, load the C9 IDE in HTTPS mode
I tried a lot searching for options/settings to do so but I am not able to find any such option :(
I did find some crt/key settings in one of node modules but no sure how to pass the values to them.

Is there any way to enable HTTPS for c9 IDE ? I have the .crt and .key files ready but don't know how to configure the server.js/standalone config file to use HTTPS.

I'm not sure what the proper way to pass the options through is (i.e. it seems like you should be able to set these in config.secure in settings/standalone.js but I was unable to get this working), but I was able to hack this in by adding the following to node_modules/connect-architect/connect/connect-plugin.js:

At the top of the file add the following includes:

var fs = require("fs");
var constants = require("constants");

Immediately before the check if (options.secure) { add the following to set this setting:

options.secure = {
    ca: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/ca.crt'),
    key: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/secret.key'),
    cert: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/cert.crt'),
    dhparam: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/dh2048.pem'),
    ciphers: 'AESGCM:ECDH:HIGH:!DH:!RSA+AESGCM:!kSRP:!kPSK:!DSS:!RC4:!eNULL:!ADH:!AECDH:!EXPORT:!MD5:@STRENGTH',
    secureProtocol: 'SSLv23_method',
    secureOptions: constants.SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3 | constants.SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2,};

I realise this is a fairly old issue but I figured others could benefit from a solution.

You can add https support by modifying the /configs/standalone.js file.

First, import the fs module.

Then, find the plugins array and add the following to where the packagepath is "connect-architect/connect".

secure: {
  key: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/cert.pem')
}
