cert-downloader

(Apple) SSL Certificate downloader

Downloads and optionally converts an SSL certificate.

This is a helper module that allows you to dowload an SSL certificate, by default that of Apple Inc. Output in in either CER or PEM format.

NOTE OpenSSL or compatible must be installed on your system if you wish to use certificated in the PEM format. This is currently UNTESTED work in progress.

Install

Will work soon(ish).

$ npm install --save cert-downloader

Usage

var CertDownloader = require('cert-downloaded');
var certDl = new CertDownloader();

// download and save in default cache location
certDl.cert(function (error, certificatePath) {
    if(error) {
        console.error('Error ' + error);
    } else {
        console.log('Certificate downloaded to ' + certificatePath);
        // /nodeproject/certificate/AppleIncRootCertificate.cer
    }
});

// download and convert to PEM (will use cached cer file and convert that to pem)
certDl.pem(function (error, certificatePath) {
    if(error) {
        console.error('Error ' + error);
    } else {
        console.log('Certificate downloaded to ' + certificatePath);
        // /nodeproject/certificate/AppleIncRootCertificate.pem
    }
});

// verifiy an existing file against the certificate
// (will download and convert if required)
var file = '/nodeproject/certicate/file-to-verify';
certDl.verify(file, function(error, output) {
    if(error){
      return callback('File verification failed: ' + error);
    }
    console.log('Verified output: ' + output);
  });
