HTTPS Redirect Middleware

redirect-ssl is a Connect/Express middleware designed to enforce HTTPS for web applications, ensuring all incoming HTTP requests are redirected to their HTTPS equivalent. It leverages the `is-https` package for robust HTTPS detection, including support for `x-forwarded-proto` headers often found when deployed behind proxies. The current stable version is 3.0.0, which introduced significant changes like a TypeScript rewrite and renaming of key configuration options. While no strict release cadence is stated, major versions appear to introduce breaking changes, signaling active development and modernization. Its key differentiators include flexible configuration for proxy trust, custom redirect ports/hosts, and exclusion patterns, making it adaptable for various deployment scenarios including Nuxt.js applications. It aims to provide a reliable and configurable solution for ensuring secure communication by default.
