Comment (by lindig at gmail.com):

 From my perspective, it's a design decision: Tracd running standalone does
 everything right. The problem is when running it behind a HTTPS proxy. We
 could argue, that it is the proxy's problem to fix the impedance mismatch
 between receiving HTTPS and proxying to a Tracd using HTTP.

 On the other hand, I believe running Tracd behind a proxy is a very good
 choice and should be supported. Since (I believe) Tracd can't figure out
 the right URL scheme to use in all cases, a configuration option would be
 helpful . The heuristic implemented in source:trunk/trac/web/api.py seems
 not work in this case. Therefore I don't think #3207 is a genuine bug but
 a feature wish for better support of running Tracd behind a proxy.
