Using HTTPS - key/cert file

[asheroto]

Hi there,

First off - thanks so much for this project! It comes in very handy! 👍💯

Can you kindly provide an example of how to pass a key/cert for HTTPS?

I need to use --req-options and give it a filename of a JS file that modifies the options object, right?

I'm trying...

--tls --host "myhost.hostname.com:443" --port "3005" --req-options "/path/to/the/file/options.js"

And in options.js I have...

var options = {
  key: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/privkey.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/cert.pem')
};

I think I missing something though, as this does not work?

Thank you very much. :-)

I ended up just symlinking the certs in hls-proxy/servers/cert but am curious if this can be done anyhow? :-)

sorry for the delay.. I was focused on a different project.. bad timing to come up for air.

anyway.. I had to take a peek at the code to answer your question.. and the answer is: I never exposed any cli options to customize the path to certificate files.

strictly speaking.. I should probably add: --tls-key --tls-cert and (an optional) --tls-pass

but, given the current coding.. what you did is fine; the other workaround would be to manually update the code here.. and hard-code your own paths.

PS: --req-options aren't used to configure the proxy server.. these values are used to configure the HTTP requests that are made to the video server(s)

ok.. I just gave this repo a little attention; v0.19.0 adds the new cli options that will allow you to use your own certificate: --tls-cert, --tls-key, and (an optional) --tls-pass

Awesome, thanks for the info!
