Re: How to deploy a Web application using HTTPs

juan i don't understand what you are trying to do.

your node app should listen to the $PORT environment variable with a plain
http connection.

the load balancer you use for cloud foundry (HAProxy or a LB you provide
like F5 or ELB) should terminate SSL and add the appropriate
x-forwarded-proto header to indicate whether the originating request was
SSL.

gorouter also supports received https traffic from the load balancer, but
does not re-encrypt the traffic to the backend container.

app client ---HTTPS---> LB ---HTTPS---> GoRouter ---HTTP--->
DEA/DiegoCell

what are you trying to do?

Hi James,

I have just tested and I received this message:

"502 Bad Gateway: Registered endpoint failed to handle the request."

Source:

I think that it is a very important feature. In the example, I use a local
certificate to offer a https connection with an API, but CF doesn't have
any support.

My question is: How to deploy in Pivotal a secure application if the
platform doesn't that support?
