Force my heroku app to use SSL (https)

Question

I have a node app running successfully on Heroku. I have purchased an Expedited SSL certificate and it all works fine. I go to https... and get a full \'green bar\' proving

Answer 1

On Heroku, it's slightly tricky to determine the fact that the request came in over http. https is handled at a heroku routing layer and it passes along the request to the node app on http).
