express-http-to-https

express-http-to-https is a node.js package for providing an Express middleware that redirects the client to HTTPS if they attempt to connect over HTTP.

Installation

$ npm install --save express-http-to-https

Usage

app.use(redirectToHTTPS(ignoreHosts, ignoreRoutes);

Configuration Options

• ignoreHosts: An array of strings of the hostnames on which to not enable the redirect. note: you must include the port here, for example [/localhost:8080/].
• ignoreRoutes: An array of strings of the routes on which not to enable the redirect.
• redirectCode: The HTTP status code to return when redirecting. Defaults to 302 "found" can be any status code

Example

````js var express = require('express'); var app = express();
var redirectToHTTPS = require('express-http-to-https').redirectToHTTPS
// Don't redirect if the hostname is localhost:port or the route is /insecure app.use(redirectToHTTPS(/localhost:(\d{4})/, /\/insecure/, 301));
app.get('/', function (req, res) { res.send('Hello World!'); });
app.get('/insecure', function (req, res) { res.send('Dangerous!'); });
app.listen(3000, function () { console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!'); });
app.listen(8080, function () { console.log('Example app listening on port 8080 insecurely!'); }); ````
