[TriZPUG] Who is using Apache httpd in front of Python, webapps?

[Joseph S. Tate]

Nearly all proxied deployment scenarios use some combination of headers to
tell the backend that the front end has proxied a request. Apache likes
X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Proto, and X-Forwarded-Port. Flask should have
configuration to tell it to pay attention to those headers and generate
URLs appropriately.
