Comment (by cmlenz):

 This is not that great a solution. The primary problem is that the referer
 could be a totally different site… for example, some site running over
 HTTPS that is linking a Trac site somewhere else. So at least, we should
 be checking whether the URL in the referer is pointing to the same host
 and base path before setting the scheme to https. But even then, I feel
 that this change is too much of a hack.

 Can you please try whether setting the `base_url` option in [wiki:TracIni
 trac.ini] also fixes the problem (without the patch above)?
 {{{
 [trac]
 base_url = https://example.org/trac/
 }}}
