Description
Hiya,
This is my first time using this library, so please excuse me if this has already been brought up before. I did look for quite some time and could not manage to find anything related to it.
The issue occurs when I specify the name for the key_file_name and cert_file_name parameters in SSLApp(). I try to specify it like this
const Uws = require('uWebSockets.js');
Uws.SSLApp({
key_file_name: '../certs/key.pem',
cert_file_name: '../certs/cert.pem',
passphrase: 'password'
})
where the certs folder is one above where the javascript file resides in.
However, if I move the certs folder to where the javascript file is, and change the call to
Uws.SSLApp({
key_file_name: 'certs/key.pem',
cert_file_name: 'certs/cert.pem',
passphrase: 'password'
})
it works as expected.
The error that is printed out is App construction failed.
When I ran node --trace-uncaught ..., this is the output:
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:968
throw err;

I couldn't find anything in the documentation about how the format of the string should be, so I assumed that any valid path would work. But the error suggests otherwise.

Research direction
Start at the SSLApp() handling of key_file_name and cert_file_name, then reproduce the example with paths containing '../'. Compare it with the working 'certs/...' case; done means valid parent-directory certificate paths no longer cause 'App construction failed'.
