And if we're running plain HTTP, provide -- an HTTP URL (not because HTTPS is bad, but because we may be serving that -- URL too and simply not providing SSL for it). -- -- In order to construct that URL, we need to figure out whether the request -- we're serving is secured with HTTPS. -- -- Since the web app may be running behind a reverse proxy, checking the -- request itself isn't enough - we need to know whether a reverse proxy may be -- serving our web app via HTTPS. -- -- One way to detect that is @Forwarded@ headers in the request, but it seems -- they can be faked, i.e. just inserted manually by an HTTP client. So our -- approach here is to rely on the configured approot: If you use a reverse -- proxy, specify the approot in your web app settings file, otherwise only the -- request itself will be consulted. -- -- UPDATE: There's no optional approot setting, we always assume HTTPS. So -- 'getSecure' simply always returns 'True'. module Vervis.Secure ( getSecure ) where import Control.Monad ((<=<)) import Data.Text (Text) import Network.Wai (isSecure) import Yesod.Core.Handler (getsYesod, waiRequest) import qualified Data.Text as T (take) import Vervis.Foundation import Vervis.Settings getSecure :: Handler Bool getSecure = return True {- let detectScheme t = case T.take 5 t of "https" -> Just True "http:" -> Just False _ -> Nothing msec <- getsYesod $ detectScheme <=< appRoot . appSettings case msec of Nothing -> isSecure <$> waiRequest Just sec -> return sec -}
