Package Exports

alexa-verifier-middleware

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (alexa-verifier-middleware) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

NPM DavidDM NPM Version

alexa-verifier-middleware

A simple middleware wrapper for express via the alexa-verifier node module.

Why

The alexa-verifier module did exist, but there was still quite a bit of code to write in order to make it work. Click here to see why.
I've recently been having problems with Heroku's SSL certificates, mainly a false alarm concerning a time expiry problem.I kept on getting this error: error validating the alexa cert: certificate expiration check failed. However, when I tried verifying the expiry date for the certificate online on SSL Shopper (example is here), the certificate was perfectly fine. I developed this module mainly to give an option to bypass the time expiry check temporarily, until it's fixed. If you happen to be using Heroku and have been receiving this error like how I did, then this module is for you.

Installation

npm install alexa-verifier-middleware --save
