How to use a url that starts with https as a parameter in express nodejs

Question

This is how my get method looks like in my route file :

router.route('/:url')
  .get(myController.handle);

When I am testing my application I could run my code perfectly when I use this url : localhost:3000/handle/www.something.com. But when I change my url to a https it does not work, for example when I change it to : http://localhost:3000/handle/https://verisign.com/ and return not found (404) error
