I have a node app running successfully on Heroku. I have purchased an Expedited SSL certificate and it all works fine. I go to https... and get a full 'green bar' proving the site is being served over https
However, the non-SSL standard http is still available too. How can I force the app to serve over https? Thanks

react-boilerplate can enforce https(redirect http to https) on heroku deployed apps(that has extra layer like cloudflare). var sslRedirect = require('heroku-ssl-redirect');const app = express();app. use(sslRedirect()); Now you get all connection to be on https.
herokuapp.com SSL certificate. No special configuration is needed, just access the app with https and you're secure by default.
Configuring SSL In Heroku, go back to the Settings tab of your application and scroll down to Domain and certificates. You should now see a white button Configure SSL. Click on it. Leave the Automatically option ticked and click on Continue.
On Heroku, it's slightly tricky to determine the fact that the request came in over http. https is handled at a heroku routing layer and it passes along the request to the node app on http).

There's also NPM module heroku-ssl-redirect helping you to deal with it
