• While creating a subscriber display for my girlfriends YouTube channel with my original Espruino I ran into an issue where the Google YouTube Data API only accepts connections over Https. The original Espruino, and ESP8266 builds, don't support https like the Pico so I created httptohttps.xyz to bridge the Espruino to the Https only service.

    Check out http://httptohttps.xyz/ for how to use it, I tried to make the homepage look nice. You can use the service however you'd like but I can't promise any up-time or reliability guarantees and I ask that you don't use it for commercial purposes.

    Example (This is on an ESP as an Espruino)::

    var http = require("http");
    http.get("http://httptohttps.xyz/https:/­/api.github.com/users/MrTimcakes", function(res) {
      var contents = "";
      res.on('data', function(data) { contents += data; });
      res.on('close', function() { console.log("MrTimcakes is from: " + JSON.parse(contents)["location"]); });
    });
    

    prints "MrTimcakes is from: Great Britain"

    I will gladly take, and even ask for, suggestions to improve the service like Headers n' stuff.
    I will shortly make this open-source too.
