Handle "self" link protocol when proxied about json-api HOT 5 CLOSED

Good catch!

I've also used this library behind a proxy, and I think I solved this problem by setting express' trust proxy setting to true. IIRC, that then updates req.protocol to uses the value from X-Forwarded-Proto.

Is there some reason not to solve this with trust proxy? (e.g. some security concern I don't know about?) If so, we can talk about other solutions. Otherwise, I'd just use that switch :)

I didn't know that option existed! This is exactly what I wanted!

That option certainly feels like the proper way to handle this case. I cannot think of any issues with using it (the API is completely isolated behind the proxy). As you may be able to discern, I've never used Node/Express behind a proxy before.

Thanks for the super quick responses to my issues! This is an extremely helpful library, I really appreciate your work. Let me know if I can contribute in any way besides spamming up the issues section. :)

I'm glad that worked, and that the library's been useful to yiu! Also, thanks so much for your offer to contribute; your help would certainly be appreciated! Are there any open issues you might want to take a stab at?

#17 looks like it would be very helpful to me in the near future. When I start the next phase of my project, I'll do some exploring into that issue and see what I can come up with.
