Secure sessions are easy, but not very well documented.  
Here's a recipe for secure sessions in Node.js when NginX is used as an SSL proxy:

The desired configuration for using NginX as an SSL proxy is to offload SSL processing 
and to put a hardened web server in front of your Node.js application, like:

[NODE.JS APP] <- HTTP -> [NginX] <- HTTPS -> [PUBLIC INTERNET] <-> [CLIENT]

Edit for express 4.X and >:  Express no longer uses Connect as its middleware framework, it implements its own now.

/*
 *  Little example of how to use ```socket-io.client``` and ```request``` from node.js
 *  to authenticate thru http, and send the cookies during the socket.io handshake.
 */

var io = require('socket.io-client');
var request = require('request');

/*
 * This is the jar (like a cookie container) we will use always
