If it’s not set correctly, all reversed_url and any pagination url from django-restframework would still use http instead of automatically obeying current request uri.
in settings.py for django 1.8+
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')
in nginx server
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
If you are using any older django, it’s better to upgrade anyway.
