In order to ensure proper security/SSL compliance, I installed the node package express-sslify to automatically convert all http requests for the app domain to https requests. This package is recommended by heroku, along with one other I could not figure out how to implement.
Everything is now working properly with the app hosted on heroku, and any requests to http://app.thebeaconnetwork.org are converted successfully to https://. The problem is, now when I try to run the app on my localhost I get the following error in my browser window:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to localhost:3000. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
Any tips? I tried adding the following as way to not run the program locally but it did not work.
if (app.get("env") === "production") {
app.use(enforce.HTTPS({ trustProtoHeader: true }));
}
Perhaps a clue, once this triggers, even if I uninstall with npm uninstall express-sslify and remove the relevant lines of code, I get the same error with local host, until I erase my browser data/history.
The relevant lines of code are in the index.js top-level file, lines 20, 21, 67, and 147-149.
