https server with short lived ssl credentials

[vsacheti]

We have ssl credentials which are short lived (age is few hours) and are keep getting refreshed on the box

If there anyway where a running server can reload the certificates without restarting.
In Java-Jetty world something like this can be done using reload.

Is there anything similar in nodejs?

AFAIK, the only way to do this is to restart the server
We figured we can do sort of dynamic reload if we are running in cluster mode. The master can watch the certificate files and fork a new worker and kill the existing workers gracefully on a cert update

But I am not able to figure something on a standalone mode which can be graceful.

Node.js has no official support for that (yet) but see nodejs/node#4464 (comment) for a workaround.
