Answer 1

Quoting a middleware solution from my own answer (which btw was on express 3.0)

app.all('*', ensureSecure); // at top of routing calls

http.createServer(app).listen(80)
https.createServer(sslOptions, app).listen(443)

function ensureSecure(req, res, next){
  if(req.secure){
    // OK, continue
    return next();
  };
  // handle port numbers if you need non defaults
  // res.redirect('https://' + req.host + req.url); // express 3.x
  res.redirect('https://' + req.hostname + req.url); // express 4.x
}
