grimoire/proxy.py is the one reader of X-Forwarded-For and X-Forwarded-Proto.
It takes the entry TRUSTED_PROXY_HOPS in from the right (default 1; a shorter
header reads its leftmost entry; 0 trusts no proxy), so an entry a client puts
left of the proxy's is never believed. Before this, with TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS
on, the leftmost X-Forwarded-For entry keyed the login, register, forgot and
reset rate limits and the audit log, and a client could choose it.
The session cookie is Secure, and HSTS (max-age=31536000) is sent, exactly
when the request is HTTPS by the trusted proxy's word. Plain HTTP is
untouched and nothing redirects. SECURE_COOKIES is gone (a startup warning says
so when it is still set); TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS=false still maps to 0 hops, with
a warning to move to TRUSTED_PROXY_HOPS. Admin audit lines now use the same
client address instead of the socket peer.
The placeholder-key refusal keyed on SECURE_COOKIES, so it now refuses either
placeholder key outright; the instance makes its own key when none is set.
Family idea #5004 (IsHTTPS, trusted-hop X-Forwarded-Proto), canon v2.
