express-https-redirect | Express middleware that redirects non | HTTP library

express-https-redirect is a JavaScript library typically used in Travel, Transportation, Logistics, Networking, HTTP, Nodejs applications. express-https-redirect has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can install using 'npm i express-https-redirect' or download it from GitHub, npm.

When you deploy an express-based application to a cloud service such as Azure or AWS, you are not afforded a direct connection as you would when deploying to a server you control. Azure, for example, routes requests to your application via a named pipe instead of a port number. This makes the determination of whether or not your users are accessing your site using HTTP versus HTTPS slightly more difficult. This simple module helps with that and redirects any non-secure traffic to an HTTPS connection. By default, the espress-https-redirect module does not redirect to HTTPS when running on a localhost as that is typically not secured with an SSL certificate. You can change this by setting the redirectLocalhost parameter in your app.use call.
