I have a jetty application on http.
My web hosting runs a reverse proxy on apache on https, which proxies to my jetty application (http).
browsing the first page (https://example.com/index.html) works,
however when I click on a link, it falls back to http. (http://example.com/link.html, instead of https://example.com/link.html)
how to solve this?
is it a configuration issue on apache (which should rewrite the urls), or is it a configuration in jetty (I should configure something such as the "canonical url" in jetty?)
actually I cannot change the configuration in apache (as only my webhosting provider has access to it), so I hope the issue can be solved on jetty. how to do so?
note: my jetty needs to run on http (not on https), as defined by my webhosting provider.

Try adding the following to your HTTP connector in the Jetty application:
This will try to read the following headers that are supposed to be sent by the proxy:
If Apache does not send these headers and your host cannot make it send these headers, you will probably need to write a custom Connector, you can read more about that here.
