Subject: Redirecting from naked domain to www with node/express?
I am hosting an express.js application on nodejitsu.com. Now, I have
assigned two domain names to it:
example.com
www.example.com
This works (although, this morning there were some glitches). Now, I
example.com -> www.example.com
www.example.com/some/page.html
Is there an easy way to achieve that using routing from within

I think that the correct way is to asign a CNAME for "
www.example.com "
in your dns manager redirecting it to "example.com".
But yep, you can do this in express by writting a middleware that

Setting a CNAME should not make a difference to the current setup. I
already have identical A records for
www.example.com and example.com.
And this works. What I want, though, is redirection.

Thanks for the suggestion! Perhaps there is already a middleware that
does this.

It should be something like this:
express.use(function(req, res, next) {
http://www.example.com'+req.url })
})
I did not test this.
I'm not even using express :-D
But something like this should do the trick.

That made me learn a little about middleware, a new concept to me, and I
really like it. In the end I implemented basically what you proposed,
plus `next()` in the else clause.

Middleware is a huge word for such a small yet powerful interface.
And yes, the next() call was missing.
Most nodejs code does not use the else-clause, but early return
The code would then be like this:
express.use(function(req, res, next) {
http://www.example.com'+req.url }, 301)
})
This should be the shortest implementation according to
http://expressjs.com/guide.html
and .send() of express.

Thanks for the suggestion. But that's not necessary: The code is for
production only, with the if clause checking the domain.

Well, I guess this can be optimized with tools such as the Closure

Good point. I'm not sure if this is the case for port 80 too, but
let's stay on the save side:
express.use(function(req, res, next) {
http://www.example.com'+req.url }, 301)
})
And what about case sensitivity?
if(req.headers.host.split(':',1)[0].toLowerCase() === 'example.com')

You can also use canonical-host for this:

var canon = require("canonical-host")('https://hostname.com' )
It also supports specific port numbers, https/http, etc. That's what
