HyperlinkedModelSerializer doesn't respect SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER settings

[ykursav]

Hello,

I am using django behind docker proxy and after that with nginx reverse proxy (serves as http). Docker proxy wrapping around nginx for https. The issue when I set SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER like below, I am retrieving HyperlinkedModelSerializer url field as http instead of https. In my opinion, expected behaviour should be returning https and respecting that django setting.

SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO", "https")

Thanks I've pitched this over to a discussion, until we've figured if there's an issue here.

Can you start with some debugging here?...

HyperlinkedModelSerializer pretty much uses...

path = django.urls.reverse(...)
url = request.build_absolute_uri(path)

You probably want to start your debugging with a view that does the above and figure out if there's some mis-configuration taking place.
