It's worth noting that Rails enables HSTS for the whole domain when you use the following in one of your config files (usually production.rb):

    config.force_ssl = true


And for Flask users there is flask-sslify[0] by Kenneth Reitz for this.

[0] https://github.com/kennethreitz/flask-sslify


I presume something like this is only useful for services like Heroku where you can't set it in your webserver directly?


It's also useful if your app requirements trump deployment requirements. You might want a particular app to always require SSL, regardless of how it is deployed.
