`HttpRequest.scheme` is `https` if `settings.SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER` is appropriately set and falls back to `HttpRequest._get_scheme()` (a hook for subclasses to implement) otherwise. `WSGIRequest._get_scheme()` makes use of the `wsgi.url_scheme` WSGI environ variable to determine the request scheme. `HttpRequest.is_secure()` simply checks if `HttpRequest.scheme` is `https`. This provides a way to check the current scheme in templates, for example. It also allows us to deal with other schemes. Thanks nslater for the suggestion. |
