[hue-user] Hue behind HTTPS proxy redirects to plain HTTP

I'm trying to set up Hue with SSL, but I want to use our frontend HTTPS proxy, rather than Hue's built in HTTPS support.  This works fine, except that redirects generated by Hue use http:// URLs.  This makes sense, since Hue sees the request from the proxy as a plain ol HTTP request. Even so, this is not what I want!

Is it possible to make Hue force HTTPS, even if it isn't configured to service HTTPS itself?

Yes it's possible. You need to make sure the proxy is adding a "X-Forwarded-Proto: https" header. Then Hue will return all urls with https://. See this for more details:

Let us know if you run into any more trouble,

Ah, perfect, thanks.  I need to upgrade then.  I'm still on CDH 5.0.
