Connect/Express middleware to enforce https using is-https.

Install package

yarn add redirect-ssl # or npm install redirect-ssl

Require and use middleware (Make sure adding it as the first in the chain)

const redirectSSL = require('redirect-ssl')

// Add middleware
app.use(redirectSSL)

// Or if want to provide options
app.use(redirectSSL.create({ redirectPort: 8443 }))

• Default: true

Trust and check x-forwarded-proto header for HTTPS detection.

• Default: 443

Redirect users to this port for HTTPS. (:443 is omitted from URL as is default for https:// schema)

• Default: undefined

Redirects using this value as host, if omitted will use request host for redirects.

NOTE It should not contain schema or trailing slashes. (Example: google.com)

• Default: true

Redirect when no SSL detection method is available too. disable this option if you encounter redirect loops.

• Default: 307 Temporary Redirect

Status code when redirecting. The reason of choosing 307 for default is:

• It prevents changing method from POST TO GET by user agents. (If you don't care, use 302 Found)
• Is temporary so if for any reason HTTPS disables on server clients won't hurt. (If you need permanent, use 308 Permanent Redirect or 301 Moved Permanently)
• See This question, 307 on MDN, and RFC 7231 section 6.4.7 for more info.
