To enable HTTPS you need to do the following.

var express = require('express');
var https = require('https');
var http = require('http');
var app = express();

http.createServer(app).listen(80);
https.createServer(options, app).listen(443);

app.use(express.static('webcontent', {'index': ['client.html']}));
