The ProxyFix middleware provided by Werkzeug uses this header for
returning accurate values from request.is_secure and request.scheme.
Without adding this header, Flask won't properly detect when it is being
served over HTTPS and will fail to generate proper external links and
cause certain extensions (e.g. Flask-OAuthlib) to function improperly.
Adding this header to the example setup should reduce issues encountered
by developers when following this guide.
I've been meaning to do this for quite some time, but I never got around to
it. Hopefully this is neutral and useful enough to be included in the main
docs.
