Description

We have the following scenario.

Client -> Load blancer (https) -> CXF Endpoint (http)

If the client requests the ?wsdl of the endpoint it should consistently be using the uri of the load balancer.

This already works for hostname and port which are correctly replaced but does not work for the protocol which still remains at http.

The load balancer can send the X-Forwarded-Proto header with https. This tells the cxf endpoint the protocol of the load balancer.
CXF should now evaluate the header and support the rewriting of urls in the wsdl from http to https.
