Support https on Node.js

[kevinresol]

Here is the code I used, but I am not sure how to integrate it into the core classes

//Server.hx
var ufrontApp = new MyApplication(...);
var port = #if !ssl 2987 #else 443 #end;
ufrontApp.listen(port); 

class MyApplication extends UfrontApplication
{
    // I defined 'ssl' in my hxml
    #if (nodejs && ssl)
    override public function listen(?port:Int=2987):Void
    {
        var app = new express.Express();
        app.use( express.Express.serveStatic(".") );
        app.use( mw.BodyParser.json({limit:'1500kb'}) );
        app.use( mw.BodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true, limit:'1500kb'}) );
        // TODO: check if we need to use a mw.BodyParser() middleware here.
        var ufAppMiddleware:express.Middleware = function(req:express.Request,res:express.Response,next:express.Error->Void) {
            var context:HttpContext =
                if ( pathToContentDir!=null ) HttpContext.createNodeJsContext( req, res, injector, urlFilters, pathToContentDir )
                else HttpContext.createNodeJsContext( req, res, urlFilters );
            this.execute( context ).handle( function(result) switch result {
                case Failure( err ): next( new express.Error(err.toString()) );
                default: next( null );
            });
        };
        app.use( ufAppMiddleware );

        var httpsOptions = {
            key: js.node.Fs.readFileSync('/path/to/my.key').toString(),
            cert: js.node.Fs.readFileSync('/path/to/my.crt').toString(),
        }
        js.node.Https.createServer(httpsOptions, untyped app).listen(port);

        // TODO: redirect http -> https
    }
    #end
}

Thanks for this. The sample code is useful to see how it works (and help other people who need to use https with node now).

I'll have to take a look at the best way to integrate this as a "standard" option.

Cleaning up my old issues and I think this is no longer needed.
