Delivering a Serverless API in 10 minutes using Workers
In preparation for Chrome’s Not Secure flag, which will update the indicator to show Not Secure when a site is not accessed over https, we wanted people to be able to test whether their site would pass. If you read our previous blog post about the existing misconceptions around using https, and preparing your site, you may have noticed a small fiddle, allowing you to test which sites will be deemed “Secure”. In preparation for the blog post itself, one of our PMs approached me asking for help making this fiddle come to life. It was a simple ask: we need an endpoint which runs logic to see if a given domain will automatically redirect to https.
The logic and requirements turned out to be very simple:

Input: domain (e.g. example.com)
Output: “secure” / “not secure”
Logic:
if http://example.com redirects to https://example.com
Return “secure”
Else
Return “not secure”
One additional requirement here was that we needed to follow redirects all the way; sites often redirect to http://www.example.com first, and only then redirect to https. That is an additional line of code I was prepared to handle.
