Comment (by simosx):

 Thanks @johnbillion for looking into the patch.

 Indeed, that HTTP field is not appropriate because it is client-side
 (browser).
 The check should be on a server-side (from the TLS Termination Proxy)
 field.

 I believe the appropriate HTTP field should be HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO
 instead, when it is set to `https`.
