How to know if a request is http or https in node.js

Question

I am using nodejs and expressjs. I wonder if there is something like request.headers.protocol in the clientRequest object. I would like to build the baseUrl for

If you are using request module and for example want to know what protocol does some www use, you can use: response.request.uri.protocol

request(YOUR_TARGET, function(error, response, body){
    if (error){
        console.log(error);
    }
    else {
        console.log(response.request.uri.protocol); // will show HTTP or HTTPS
    }
});

If you need user protocol then use request.headers.referer.split(':')[0]; just like @Harsh gave you.
