most proxies, and if you only set one the other will be set automatically): something has to be done in the backend. Typically this is handled via
a contract with the proxy, which will add headers to tell the back end
how to construct links to itself. If the proxy adds conventional
headers (most do this out of the box) the absolute links should be
rendered correctly by default using the Tomcat server.
Spring Boot using Tomcat automatically adds a `RemoteIpValve`. This
transparently takes the standard `x-forwarded-for` and
`x-forwarded-proto` headers and uses them to change local URLs created
in the `HttpServletRequest`. You can configure the header names in
Spring Boot and the valve is switched on unless one or both of these
properties is empty. These values are the defaults and are the
conventional values used by most proxies, so you don't need to set
them unless you need different values:
