Another problem I'm facing when running Hiawatha behind Webfaction's reverse-proxy is that when I try to replace current [docs.webfaction.com] rewriting rules with the setup at the Hiawatha's side by using:

VirtualHost {
       ....
       RequireTLS = yes
}

I have a problem that when I try with:

http://subdomain.domain.tld

I get 503 error saying that my site is not configured, but when I try with

https://subdomain.domain.tld

browser complains about improper (recursive) 301 redirects, so I wonder if Hiawatha is supposed to be able being configured with

RequireTLS = yes

when used behind reverse-proxy or there is some additional setup required on my side?


Sincerely,

Move the 'RequireTLS = yes' to the reverse proxy and use https:// in the ReverseProxy statement. That way all connections are secured.

Well, the problem is that I'm just (paying) user at Webfaction without access to the system-wide Nginx configuration. :-)

So, it looks I'd have to continue using specific 'app' (aka .htaccess rules) for doing http --> https redirection. :-(
