Comment:

 Replying to [comment:5 cooperman]:
 > @johnbillion - is this a hosting misconfiguration?
 Yes, it is. You have a reverse proxy which is not telling your web server
 that the incoming request is an HTTPS request.

 The question is, if this is a common misconfiguration then is it worth
 reverting [28610]? Moving this to 4.0.1 for consideration.
