+ *
+ * HTTP_PORT Port to listen to. Defaults to 3077.
+ *
+ * HTTPS_PEM Combined public and private parts of
+ * a TLS certificate to use. If provided, an HTTPS
+ * server will be started. Alternatively, the user
+ * may provide separate files (see below).
+ *
+ * HTTPS_CERT Public certificate to use in HTTPS
+ * mode.
+ *
+ * HTTPS_KEY Private key to use along `HTTPS_CERT`
+ * in HTTPS mode. Note that both must be provided.
+ *
+ * HTTPS_CA Public certificate of a certificate
+ * authority or the public part of a client certificate.
+ * If provided, the client needs to authenticate with
+ * a certificate signed by this authority, or with this
+ * certifcate itself, if self-signed.
+ *
+ * See also ../index.js for other environment
+ * variable options.
