configure for https

[kaiyangli777]

Hi there,

I am currently try to host cors-anywhere on my own server. I've done test with http://localhost:3030/url-of-the-actual-api, and it worked fine. I am now trying to use https://localhost:3030/url-of-the-actual-api, I've followed the instructions provided in issue#74, added the code below:
cors_anywhere = createServer({
httpsOptions: {
key: fs.readFileSync(path-to-the-key),
cert: fs.readFileSync(path-to-the-cert),
},
});

And I've also configured my apache config file and added a subdomain for port 3030, (xxx.mydomain.com) and it brings me to the page that shows "This API enables cross-origin requests to anywhere..." . However, when I make the cors API call with the subdomain with https (https://xxx.mydomain.com/url-of-the-actual-api), it responded with code 200 and the content of the "This API enables cross-origin requests to anywhere..." page, instead of the response content of the actual API call...

I'm doing something wrong? Could you give me some advice? Thank you in advance...

This is not an issue with https (the fact that you see any response means that https has been configured as expected). This error is because of your Apache configuration.

Which version of CORS Anywhere are you using? Are you using the latest version of the master branch or the one from npm?

This is likely not an issue with CORS Anywhere, but a frequently occurring error that I introduced a new error message in 34ec83b
