npm http-server with SSL

I'm using the npm package "http-server" (https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) to set up a simple webserver, but I cannot get it to use SSL. My command in package.json is

http-server -p 8000 -o -S

with a cert.pem and key.pem in my root directory (for now). The "-o" option opens a browser to the default page, but the page is served using HTTP and not even accessible through HTTPS. I don't get any errors or warnings. I've also tried adding the "-C" and "-K" options without luck. Has any one had any success with this package?

Solution

  • Just for future reference, my problem was solved by updating the package to the latest version in package.json. I copy-pasted an old example file without updating the version numbers.
