TLS

Transport Layer Security (TLS) for the www.heartpoints.org and heartpoints.org uses the GCP Ingress automatic certificate management capability as configured in our k8s yaml

This means that upon creation / update of the k8s ingress for our GKE cluster the hosting environment, in this case Google Compute Platform, ensures there are signed certificates for both domains and then serves those up for https requests.

Insecure HTTP requests are passed thru to the express web server, which forces redirect to the equivalent HTTPS address if Request Header x-forwarded-proto has value http, which indicates presence of a load-balanced, insecure request.
