Https createServer, load cookie and load clients index.html

I am trying to setup a login system on a website.

In order to do that, I have to load http only cookies.

In order to load them, I have to send them back to the client via the response object in the createServer function when https starts up.

I have successfully done that via here: setting up https cookie in nodejs

The problem is twofold.

1. The https server cookie only loads if I include the port number in the url. How do I get it to load without including the port number?

2. When the server kicks in and loads the cookie, the static index.html that was always supposed to load on the client, doesn't load and instead all i get is what was written into the response object on the server. How do I get to load the cookie, and just load that static html file? I have tried sending in the entire html file as a respnose from the server side. But I'm not sure about that, plus i get MIME type problems in the browser.
