express-enforces-ssl
A Node.js middleware module that automatically enforces HTTPS connections by redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS URLs in Express.js applications.
express-enforces-ssl Description
express-enforces-ssl is a Node.js module designed to enforce HTTPS connections for Express.js applications. The module automatically redirects HTTP requests to HTTPS using a 301 permanent redirect status code. The tool operates as Express middleware that intercepts incoming requests and checks their encryption status. When a non-encrypted HTTP request is detected, it performs an automatic redirection to the corresponding HTTPS URL. The module includes support for reverse proxy environments commonly used by cloud platforms like Heroku and Nodejitsu. In these scenarios, the trustProxy parameter must be configured to ensure proper functionality behind load balancers. Installation is handled through npm package manager, and implementation requires enabling the 'trust proxy' setting in Express applications when operating behind reverse proxies. The module integrates into existing Express applications through standard middleware configuration.
