nodejs getting raw https request and response - node.js

Question

i was in the process of answering this question
Retrieving the http.ServerResponse body
im trying to capture the raw string of an https request and response, for http it works fine
var http = require('http');
var util = require('util');
var req,res;
var server = http.createServer(onrequest);
server.listen(81);
server.on('connection',socket=>{
console.log('*** connection ***');
req = '';
res = '';
socket.on('data',data=>{
req += data.toString();
});
var write = socket.write
socket.write=function(data,encoding,callback){
res += data.toString();
write.apply(socket,arguments);
}//write
});
function onrequest(request,response){
console.log('*** request : '+request.url+' ***');
response.on('finish',()=>{
console.log('--- request ---');
console.log('['+req+']');
console.log();
console.log('--- response ---');
console.log('['+res+']');
});
request.on('data',data=>{});
request.on('end',()=>response.end('Hi. This is my http response.'));
}//onresquest
simplifying things using a single curl request
curl http://localhost:81/
gives the required data, congrats i thought onto my project and .. nope
when using https with the following code
var key; // = .....
var cert; // = ....
var server = https.createServer({key,cert},onrequest);
and again using curl
curl -k https://localhost:81/
no data is logged, the problem is this
on the connection event the socket passed is of type "socket" presumably a net.socket
the socket that is passed to the onrequest function is of type "tlssocket"
so i thought maybe i could use the underlying "duplex" which they do both share, however when i try to add the on data event to the duplex, with either
//on connection
var duplex = socket.__proto__;
duplex.on('data',data=>{
or
duplex.on.call(duplex,'data',data=>
it fails at Node.js JavaScript runtime
does anybody know how to get further than this?

okey dokey
the solution is to use the "secureConnection" event, like so :
var https = require('https');
var req,res;
var key; // = ...
var cert; // = ...
var server = https.createServer({key,cert},onrequest);
server.listen(81);
server.on('secureConnection',socket=>{
console.log('*** connection ***');
req = '';
res = '';
socket.on('data',data=>{
req += data.toString();
});
var write = socket.write
socket.write=function(data,encoding,callback){
res += data.toString();
write.apply(socket,arguments);
}//write
});
function onrequest(request,response){
console.log('*** request : '+request.url+' ***');
response.on('finish',()=>{
console.log('--- request ---');
console.log('['+req+']');
console.log();
console.log('--- response ---');
console.log('['+res+']');
});
request.on('data',data=>{});
request.on('end',()=>response.end('Hi. This is my http response.'));
}//onresquest
this can be seen implemented
