HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto for HTTPS Redirection

[louisiscoding]

When using the default HTTPS redirection of this plugin, i'm facing a ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error. This issue is referenced here.
Due to the apache services i'm using, i would need to force https with theses rules :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP:Host}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=permanent]

I don't succeed to write this custom rule. Can you help me ?

Have you tries this?

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-htaccess',
      options: {
        https: false,
        custom: `
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP:Host}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=permanent]
        `,
      },
    },
  ],
}

First disable the default https-handling (just to be sure, that there's no interference).
Then write the custom-rule into the "custom"-string, which gets appended to the .htaccess-file.

Could we add an extra flag like forward: true that in combination with https: true would generate something like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
