Comment:

 I'm going with Westi and Nacin here, filtering it doesn't achieve a good
 result.

 Filtering it would be excellent if the value of the function could change
 during normal execution of a !WordPress page load, but for low level
 configurations like this that are consistent with a request, you're far
 better off with defining it in `wp-config.php` like so:
 {{{
 if ( 'https' == $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] )
    $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';
 }}}

 Either way, you have to add custom PHP, and doing it in your configuration
 file is the best location to ensure that all plugins and is_ssl() calls
 before plugins get loaded work correctly 100% of the time.
