Body
I'm trying to implement HTTPS on my Node.js server (Expressjs framework). I have my signed certificate and key, as well as a self-signed cert/key for testing/development: <pre><code>if(process.env.NODE_ENV == 'production'){ var app = module.exports = express.createServer({ key: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/nopass_server.key'), cert: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/server.crt') }); } else { var app = module.exports = express.createServer({ key: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/self_signed/nopass_server.key'), cert: fs.readFileSync('./ssl/self_signed/server.crt') }); } </code></pre> I've also setup SSL Endpoint on Heroku. Everything works fine on <code>localhost</code>, and Endpoint seems to be working properly, but when I run the app in production (on Heroku) I get an H13 application error. Interestingly (or not) if I tell express to create an HTTP server instead: <code>var app = module.exports = express.createServer()</code> it works, but then Chrome complains that <code>the page at https://mydomain.com ran insecure content from http://mydomain.com</code>. Can I not/should I not be creating an HTTPS server in express for production? If I should, is there something extra I need to make it work on Heroku (e.g. I'm trusting it to set the correct port with <code>var port = process.env.PORT</code>)? If not, how can I serve "secure" content if its not running an https server so browsers won't complain? I'm using the following to take care of any non-https requests: <pre><code>app.get('*',function(req,res,next){ if(req.headers['x-forwarded-proto'] != 'https'){ res.redirect('https://mydomain.com'+req.url); } else next(); }); </code></pre> This is currently located just above the rest of my routes, could this be the issue/should this be somewhere else? I have very limited experience with https in general so I'm probably missing something obvious.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
