I can't access routes via https in express

Question

I built an application with express of node.js.

const express = require('express');  // servidor de desenvolvimento
const app = express();

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log(`http://localhost:3000`);
});

when I run the server and try access it with https://my_local_IP:port in browser I get ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR, but if I use https://my_local_IP:port it works.

How do I make the app to listen in on http port, even to requests in https port?

You have to use an SSL certificate for the browser to allow it. — hari, Aug 13 '21 at 18:15
Without the browser allowing your request, it won't reach the express server. — hari, Aug 13 '21 at 18:17

You'll need an SSL certificate on the server you're running express on. You can check out this answer for more information on how to do that
