cordova-plugin-pinnedhttps

A phonegap plugin that will allow you to make HTTPS requests with certificate fingerprint verification

Installation

phonegap plugin add cordova-plugin-pinnedhttps

Usage

This plugin compiles and has been tested as part of an other project (a cordova app).

NOTE: This plugin doesn't follow HTTP redirections

/*
The `fingerprints` parameter must either be a string or an array of
strings; each string must be an SHA1 or SHA256 hash. (SHA1 and SHA256 cannot
be mixed)

When the plugins check the identity of a host, it first checks the fingerprint of the last certificate in the chain. If it doesn't match, goes up the chain and checks the certificate above it. The process can repeat up to the root certificate.

This allows you check either for a specific certificate, or a certificate authority that you trust.

Note that some sites use multiple certificates (on the same hostname), and some others use cross-signed certificates. These cases might trigger "INVALID_CERT" errors
 */
var https = new navigator.httpsBuilder(fingerprints);

https.get('https://yoursite.tld/yourpath', function(err, res){
	if (err){
		//Handle errors here. err is a string
		if (err == 'INVALID_CERT'){
			//Certificate found on server doesn't match the provided fingerprint
		} else {
			//Other kinds of connection errors. Error messages are listed below
		}
	} else {
		res.statusCode //Number
		res.headers //Object
		res.body //String
	}
});

var reqOptions = {
  method: 'post', 
  host: 'yoursite.tld', 
  path: '/yourpath', 
  port: 443, 
  [headers: {header1: 'value1', header2: 'value2'}], 
  body: {},
  timeout: 10000 // 10 sec.
};

https.request(reqOptions, function(err, res){
	if (err){
		//Handle errors here. err is a string
		if (err == 'INVALID_CERT'){
			//Certificate found on server doesn't match the provided fingerprint
		} else {
			//Other kinds of connection errors. Error messages are listed below
		}
	} else {
		res.statusCode //Number
		res.headers //Object
		res.body //String
	}
});

NOTE : With https.request, if returnBuffer is defined in the reqOptions, then res.body will be returned as an Uint8Array
