+# node-http-signature
+
+node-http-signature is a node.js library that has client and server components
+for Joyent's [HTTP Signature Scheme](http_signing.md).
+
+## Usage
+
+Note the example below signs a request with the same key/cert used to start an
+HTTP server. This is almost certainly not what you actually want, but is just
+used to illustrate the API calls; you will need to provide your own key
+management in addition to this library.
+
+### Client
+
+```js
+var fs = require('fs');
+var https = require('https');
+var httpSignature = require('http-signature');
+
+var key = fs.readFileSync('./key.pem', 'ascii');
+
+var options = {
+  host: 'localhost',
+  port: 8443,
+  path: '/',
+  method: 'GET',
+  headers: {}
+};
+
+// Adds a 'Date' header in, signs it, and adds the
+// 'Authorization' header in.
+var req = https.request(options, function(res) {
+  console.log(res.statusCode);
+});
+
+
+httpSignature.sign(req, {
+  key: key,
+  keyId: './cert.pem'
+});
+
+req.end();
+```
+
+### Server
+
+```js
+var fs = require('fs');
+var https = require('https');
+var httpSignature = require('http-signature');
+
+var options = {
+  key: fs.readFileSync('./key.pem'),
+  cert: fs.readFileSync('./cert.pem')
+};
+
+https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
+  var rc = 200;
+  var parsed = httpSignature.parseRequest(req);
+  var pub = fs.readFileSync(parsed.keyId, 'ascii');
+  if (!httpSignature.verifySignature(parsed, pub))
+    rc = 401;
+
+  res.writeHead(rc);
+  res.end();
+}).listen(8443);
+```
