Question

I have a python application running using BottlePy.

This application is routed by Nginx:

listen 443;
ssl on;
...

location / {
    include uwsgi_params;
    uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCHEME https;
    uwsgi_pass unix:///var/run/uwsgi/uwsgi.sock;
}

Because I’m using the BottlePy micro-framework, I can’t call request.is_secure() (No such method).

But is there a way to read the UWSGI_SCHEME value from code?

My goal is to be sure, from code, that the request used HTTPS.

Answer 1

request.environ was indeed the way to go.

Thanks to Mike for pointing me the right direction.

print request.environ['wsgi.url_scheme']

Will print the scheme of the URL: http/https…
