    <p>I've been trying to get HTTPS set up with a node.js project I'm working on. I've essentially followed the <a href="http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.11/api/https.html">node.js documentation</a> for this example:</p> <pre><code>// curl -k https://localhost:8000/ var https = require('https'); var fs = require('fs'); var options = { key: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem'), cert: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem') }; https.createServer(options, function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200); res.end("hello world\n"); }).listen(8000); </code></pre> <p>Now, when I do </p> <pre><code>curl -k https://localhost:8000/ </code></pre> <p>I get </p> <pre><code>hello world </code></pre> <p>as expected. But if I do </p> <pre><code>curl -k http://localhost:8000/ </code></pre> <p>I get </p> <pre><code>curl: (52) Empty reply from server </code></pre> <p>In retrospect this seems obvious that it would work this way, but at the same time, people who eventually visit my project aren't going to type in <strong>https</strong>://yadayada, and I want all traffic to be https from the moment they hit the site. </p> <p>How can I get node (and Express as that is the framework I'm using) to hand off all incoming traffic to https, regardless of whether or not it was specified? I haven't been able to find any documentation that has addressed this. Or is it just assumed that in a production environment, node has something that sits in front of it (e.g. nginx) that handles this kind of redirection?</p> <p>This is my first foray into web development, so please forgive my ignorance if this is something obvious.</p>

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.
