req.protocol
Example 1
Create a file with the name "reqProtocol.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node reqProtocol.js" to run this code as shown in the example below −
// req.protocol Property Demo Example
// Importing the express module
var express = require('express');
// Initializing the express and port number
var app = express();
// Initializing the router from express
var router = express.Router();
var PORT = 3000;
// Defining an endpoint
app.get('/api', function (req, res) {
console.log("Request Protocol received is: ", req.protocol);
res.send(req.protocol);
});
app.listen(PORT, function(err){
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT);
});Hit the following Endpoint with a GET request − localhost:3000/api
Output
C:\home
ode>> node reqProtocol.js Server listening on PORT 3000 Request Protocol received is: http
Example 2
Let's take a look at one more example.
// req.protocol Property Demo Example
// Importing the express module
var express = require('express');
// Initializing the express and port number
var app = express();
// Initializing the router from express
var router = express.Router();
var PORT = 3000;
// Enabling trust-proxy settings
app.enable('trust proxy');
// Defining an endpoint
app.get('/api', function (req, res) {
console.log("Request Protocol received is: ", req.protocol);
res.send(req.protocol);
});
app.listen(PORT, function(err){
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT);
});Hit the following Endpoint with a GET request −
localhost:3000/api
And set the following headers −
- X-Forwarded-Proto = https
Output
C:\home
ode>> node reqProtocol.js Server listening on PORT 3000 Request Protocol received is: https
