*/

var cookie = require("cookie-secure");

var https = require("https");

var fs = require("fs"); const options={ key : fs.readFileSync(__dirname + "/key.pem"), cert : fs.readFileSync(__dirname + "/cert.pem") }

https.createServer(options, (req, res) => { var curCookie = "testHTTPS"; if(req.url = "/"){ var co =cookie.setCookieString(req, res, curCookie ,"rve", "",606024,false,true); cookie.setCookie(req, res, co, "done",true); }else if(req.url == "/get_cookie"){ cookie.getCookie(req, res, curCookie); }

}).listen(8000);

var http = require("http"); http.createServer(function(req, res){ var curCookie = "testHTTP"; if(req.url = "/"){ var co = cookie.setCookieString(req, res, curCookie,"uemsh", Date(),606024,false, false); cookie.setCookie(req, res, co, "done",true);

}else if(req.url == "/get_cookie"){
    cookie.getCookie(req, res, curCookie);
