This is because your application isn’t trusting the reverse proxy’s headers overriding the scheme (the X-Forwarded-Proto
header that’s passed when it handles a TLS request).
There’s a few ways we can fix that:
-
If you’re running the application straight from
uvicorn
server, try using the flag--forwarded-allow-ips '*'
. -
If you’re running
gunicorn
you can set as well the flag--forwarded-allow-ips="*"
. -
In either application, you can additionally use the
FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS
environment variable.
Important: the *
should be used only as a test, as it’ll lead your application to trust the X-Forwarded-*
headers from any source. I suggest you read uvicorn’s docs and gunicorn’s docs for a deeper knowledge of what to set in this flag and why.
