                    app.listen(80);
  ```
* 8.啟動web server, 並按下第5點的連結, 確定web server可下載到verification file, 接著按下**Download SSL Certificate**
* 9.可以下載到一些檔案, 將**certificate.crt**及**private.key**放到專案根目錄下, 並修改app.js

```
                    var privateKey = fs.readFileSync('./private.key', 'utf8');
                    var certificate = fs.readFileSync('./certificate.crt', 'utf8');
                    var credentials = {
                      key: privateKey,
                      cert: certificate
                    };
                    var httpsServer = https.createServer(credentials, app);
                    httpsServer.listen(3000);
