<p><strong>Source Code:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v20.15.1/lib/https.js">lib/https.js</a></p>
<p>HTTPS is the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL. In Node.js this is implemented as a
separate module.</p>
<section><h3>Determining if crypto support is unavailable<span><a class="mark" href="#determining-if-crypto-support-is-unavailable" id="determining-if-crypto-support-is-unavailable">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="https_determining_if_crypto_support_is_unavailable"></a></h3>
<p>It is possible for Node.js to be built without including support for the
<code>node:crypto</code> module. In such cases, attempting to <code>import</code> from <code>https</code> or
calling <code>require('node:https')</code> will result in an error being thrown.</p>
<p>When using CommonJS, the error thrown can be caught using try/catch:</p>

not necessarily). This keying material can be stored for debugging, as it
allows captured TLS traffic to be decrypted. It may be emitted multiple times
for each socket.</p>
<p>A typical use case is to append received lines to a common text file, which is
later used by software (such as Wireshark) to decrypt the traffic:</p>
