Recently we were getting ready to deploy a new project which functions only over SSL. The project is deployed on AWS using the Elastic Load Balancers (ELB). We have the ELB doing the SSL termination to reduce the load on the server and to help simply management of the SSL certs. Anyways the the point of this short post. One of the developers noticed that on some of the internal links she kept getting a link something like “https://dev.app.com:80/….”, it was properly generating the link to HTTPS but then specify port 80. Of course your browser really does not like that as its conflicting calls of port 80 and 443. After a quick look into the project we found that we had yet to enable the proxy headers and specify the proxy(s), it was we had to turn on `trust_proxy_headers`. However, doing this did not fix the issue. You must in addition to enable the headers specify which ones you trust. This can be easily done via the following:
Here is a very simple example of how you could specify them. You just let it know the IP’s of the proxy(s) and it will then properly generate your links.
You can read up on this more in the Symfony documentation on trusting proxies.
Anyways just wanted to put throw this out there incase you see this and realize you forgot to configure the proxy in your app!
