strong-ssl-redirect

The strong SSL redirect middleware that redirects non-secure access to HTTPS works well with AWS and heroku.

Description

The middleware forces the HTTP to a HTTPS request to your application by accessing the host headers and stamps a default 301.

By default this module also checks for anormallies like google.com and forcing it into www,google.com by default.

How It Works

The strong-ssl-redirect module does not redirect to HTTPS when running on a localhost as that is typically not secured with an SSL certificate. You can use ngrok.io for this purpose and to tunnel traffic to your localhost.

Installation

$ npm install strong-ssl-redirect --save

Usage

var express = require('express');
var sslRedirect = require('strong-ssl-redirect');
var app = express();
var environment  = 'production'  /* 'other' 'development', 'production'*/
app.use(sslRedirect({
    environment,
    www: true,
    status: 301
}));

If you want to force the request to redirect from https://google.com to https://www.google.com set the www property to true like so.
```javascript
 `www: true`
