Using nginx as front end to Apache/mod_wsgi as an example: On nginx side you would use:
proxy_set_header X-Url-Scheme $scheme; and on Apache/mod_wsgi side, with Django 1.0 as an example, in WSGI script file we would have: import os, sys sys.path.append('/usr/local/django') os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings' import django.core.handlers.wsgi _application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler() def application(environ, start_response): environ['wsgi.url_scheme'] = environ.get('HTTP_X_URL_SCHEME', 'http') return _application(environ, start_response) Is the equivalent on IIS side as others have mentioned that you need.
