I've now generated a self-signed cert for lvh.me and the client has stopped
emitting errors. However, it doesn't emit a response either, the script
just hangs. What's going on?


// server.js

var https = require('https'),
    fs    = require('fs');

var server = https.createServer({
  cert: fs.readFileSync('./server.crt'),
  key:  fs.readFileSync('./server.key')
});

server.on('request', function(request, response) {
  response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  response.end('Hello\n');
});

server.listen(8000);


// client.js

var https = require('https'),
    fs    = require('fs');

var request = https.request({
  method: 'GET',
  host:   'lvh.me',
  port:   8000,
  path:   '/',
  ca:     [fs.readFileSync('./server.crt')]
});

request.on('error', function(error) {
  console.log('ERROR', error);
});

request.on('response', function(response) {
  console.log(response.statusCode);
});
