-----------------------------------

             Summary: respect X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header and probably other X-Forwarded-* headers as well
                 Key: TAP5-2291
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2291
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.3.7
            Reporter: Ilya Obshadko


Use case: we need to correctly handle scenarios when Tapestry acts as a plain (unsecured) HTTP backend behind HTTPS frontend. In such situations all links, either formed by PageLink/EventLink/ActionLink components, or by directly using PageRenderLinkSource, should contain correct port and protocol.

I've created a basic support for X-Forwarded-Proto header in my project. The solution is described here: https://gist.github.com/xfyre/9104238

It might be a good idea to incorporate support for X-Forwarded-Proto header into Tapestry itself. Otherwise we need to rely on servlet container to provide correct request information and it doesn't always work as expected.
