[🐞] useLocation() always returns "http" protocol, even though it is on https

[jsaad-syncoms]

Which component is affected?

Qwik City (routing)

Describe the bug

I have deployed my app to a live server, with https, and useLocation() always returns "http:" as protocol. This leads to the following error where I need to change URL parameteres for certain pages:

DOMException: Failed to execute 'replaceState' on 'History': A history state object with URL 'http://[...myURL]' cannot be created in a document with origin 'https://[...myURL]' and URL 'https://[...myURL]'.

At the moment, it looks like I'm gonna just to have use the standard document.location.

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/qwik-starter-ddc5id?file=src%2Froutes%2Findex.tsx

Steps to reproduce

Deply any code to a live server with https and console.log(location.url).

this is technically working as expected since useTask is running on the server and we pass the url from the server environment you're on. so in your adapter for your platform you can update the url to the correct url you want or it depends on which adapter you're deploying with

the fix would be to make sure your platform

ok I see what you're saying it's not really clear and only works correctly in certain adapters

Hi @PatrickJS - thanks for your reply. So this is the adapter config being used in the project:

export default extendConfig(baseConfig, () => {
  return {
    build: {
      ssr: true,
      rollupOptions: {
        input: ["src/entry.express.tsx","@qwik-city-plan"],
      },
    },
    plugins: [
      nodeServerAdapter({ name: 'express'})
    ],
  };
});

Is there anything I can do in this config to remedy the situation?

Hi,
I can relate to that problem. In my setup, the qwik application is running within a cluster, and there are multiple proxies in front of it. It is necessary to always include the X-Forwarded-Proto Header within your proxy settings. Qwik uses the header to change the protocol of the origin.

It was confusing because I always set the ORIGIN env variable, and requests sent directly to qwik (without going through the proxies) always returned the correct URL.

I hope this is helpful.
