-Fixing HTTP vs. HTTPS When Deploying Behind a Proxy
----------------------------------------------------
-
-In a configuration where you have a :app:`Pyramid` server behind an Apache or
-Nginx or Squid proxy which serves your website over SSL (as ``https``) as in
-the above example in :ref:`virtual_root_support`, the request will be passed
-by the proxy to an `http://`` URL that will be served by :app:`Pyramid`.
-Because this is true, URLs generated by :app:`Pyramid` will be generated with
-``http://`` instead of ``https://``; the SSL info has been "lost" during the
-proxying.
-
-To work around this, convert your application to use a "pipeline" instead of
-a simple "app" in your PasteDeploy configuration, then add ``prefix``
-middleware to the pipeline.  For example, if your ``production.ini`` file has
-a ``main`` section that looks like this:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-   [app:main]
-   use = egg:MyProject
-
-Convert it to look like this:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-   [app:myapp]
-   use = egg:MyProject
-
-   [pipeline:main]
-   pipeline =
-       myapp
-
-Then add the ``paste.prefix`` middleware with no options to the pipeline:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-   [app:myapp]
-   use = egg:MyProject
-
-   [filter:paste_prefix]
-   use = egg:PasteDeploy#prefix
-
-   [pipeline:main]
-   pipeline =
-       paste_prefix
-       myapp
-
-This will have the side effect of retaining ``https`` URLs during generation.
