option to force https on heroku

I have verdaccio running in a container on heroku running in http but can be accessed through SSL using their reverse proxy. Their method of forcing redirect to https is like this:

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/http-routing#heroku-headers

X-Forwarded-Proto: the originating protocol of the HTTP request (example: https)

method for redirecting with node/express – see https://jaketrent.com/post/https-redirect-node-heroku/

  app.use((req, res, next) => {
    if (req.header('x-forwarded-proto') !== 'https')
      res.redirect(`https://${req.header('host')}${req.url}`)
    else
      next()
  })

Describe the solution you’d like

Might be great to have some way to redirect non-http to https. Not sure what would be most flexible, a configuration option where I can say “when” to redirect, something like:

redirect:
  when:
    header: X-Forward-Proto
  is:
    http
  to:
     https

or perhaps some javascript if statement that can be evaled to keep it open ended as possible
