how do you get the original request protocol?

[deitch]

If you want to know the URL that was used to request you, in a
particular route, you can use:

req.headers.host - the host and port
req.url - the entire path
req.method - PUT/GET/POST/etc.

But how do you get the protocol part of the URL?

Hi,
an answer at :
http://groups.google.com/group/express-js/browse_thread/thread/b0b51f7ca1090859/8a364687e0ffeca8

req.connection.encrypted ? 'https' : 'http'

If i want to populate my <base> tag, i must prepare that local
variable :
(req.connection.encrypted ? 'https' : 'http') + '://' +
req.header('host') + (req.app.settings.basepath || '')

ugly !

we already reconstruct it in res.redirect(), I could expose it as req.<something>.

That would be pretty good. I already worked around it, but sometimes it is good to have it.

If express call url.parse() the result could be accessible in req.url,
that would give all information we need in one place, in a standard manner.

J�r�my.

PS: expressjs is wonderful :)
