@sam-github sam-github commented Oct 22, 2019

Debugging HTTPS or TLS connections from a Node.js app with (for example)
Wireshark is unreasonably difficult without the ability to get the TLS
key log. In theory, the application can be modified to use the
'keylog' event directly, but for complex apps, or apps that define
there own HTTPS Agent (like npm), this is unreasonably difficult.

Use of the option triggers a warning to be emitted so the user is
clearly notified of what is happening and its effect.

Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • tests and/or benchmarks are included
  • documentation is changed or added

There's a typo that causes only the first socket to be logged
(i.e. when the warning is emitted).

In addition, server sockets aren't logged because `keylog` events
are not emitted on tls.Server, not the socket. This behaviour is
counterintuitive and has caused more bugs in the past, so make all
sockets (server or client) emit 'keylog'. tls.Server will just
re-emit these events.
