Redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS in a Node.js Connect app.

gistfile1.js

function requireHTTPS(req, res, next) {
    if (!req.secure) {
        //FYI this should work for local development as well
        var domain = "https://" + req.get("host");
        if (process.env["SSL_PORT"]) {
            domain = domain.replace(/:\d+$/, "");
            domain += ":" + process.env["SSL_PORT"];
        }
        return res.redirect(domain + req.url);
    }
    next();
}
 
app.use(requireHTTPS);
app.get('/', routeHandlerHome);
