I have below code to redirect http traffic to https but it is giving ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
any reason ? How we can fix it in node js?
module.exports = [
'/',
(req, res, next) => {
if (req.hostname !== 'localhost' && req.protocol === 'http') {
let url = 'https://' + req.headers.host + req.url;
res.redirect(url);
} else {
next();
}
},
];
Note : value of req.protocol is always returning http for https requests on server.
I hit https url and checked req.protocol value and it was http
Can you try to debug it, to know the following:
Instead of redirecting the HTTP traffic to HTTPS by using the Nodejs code. I'd prefer you to configure the redirect directly inside your webserver Apache or Nginx and You can also use Cloudflare if you don't have Apache or Nginx access on your server. And also you are facing this problem because you are maybe redirecting visitors multiple times. For example, I think you are already redirecting traffic via webserver, and after you are again redirecting via the code. So, I'd prefer you to remove this middleware.
