Answer 1

If your server is running behind a proxy server, make sure your proxy header is set:

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto  $scheme;

Then to get the right scheme you can use springframework's classes:

HttpRequest httpRequest = new ServletServerHttpRequest(request); //request is HttpServletRequest
UriComponents uriComponents = UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpRequest(httpRequest).build();

String scheme = uriComponents.getScheme(); // http/https
