Force https with HyperlinkedModelSerializer?

Question

I'm using the REST-framework for for API, and relationships to a HyperlinkModelSerializer are represented by a url that uses http. Is there any way to force this to return a link with https?

Answer 1

This might be an environment issue. In my case (on Heroku) I needed the production setting:

SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')

This is because internally the gunicorn instance is actually being connected to using http, you need to tell Django that there is a secure proxy in front of it. Pretty obvious once I stopped to think about it.

Interestingly enough all the other url reverses on the site work fine, just the DRF ones were broken, which was the confusing part.
