How can I detect if a tcp connection has been forwarded from a ssl connection?

Question

The specific scenario I\'m dealing with is attempting to connect to a websocket connection behind an AWS elastic load balancer, whilst enforcing https/ssl rather than http/tcp.<

Answer 1

When you use TCP, the ELB will not inject HTTP headers such as x-forwarded-proto or x-forwarded-for. You may be able to get what you need by configuring Proxy Protocol.
