HTTPS Node.js application on Heroku

Question

I have configured my SSL enpoint, and I can confirm that that is working. When I go into my log, I see the following:

Jul 13 08:14:10 support-dash app/web.1:         


        

Answer 1

I found the answer here: Heroku Error H13 on ExpressJS Node HTTPS Server

"SSL termination occurs at Heroku's load balancers; they send your app plain (non-SSL) traffic, so your app should create a non-HTTPS server."

I then changed my file to:

var http = require('http');
var express = require("express");

var app = express();

app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);
app.use(express.logger());

app.get('/', function(request, response) {
  console.log('[support dash] processing get request')
  response.send('Hello World 2!');
});

app.listen(process.env.PORT, function () {
  console.log('***** exp listening on port: ' + process.env.PORT);
});

Everything is working great now over https. Good Luck!
