How to get request url scheme?

[Anik Hasibul]

Hi there!
I am working on a web application. And I need to get the scheme of the request url.
I tried `req.URL.Scheme` it returned empty string.
But my expectation was `http` or `https`

Any idea to get that?

That should be it... file a bug

Technically, the Scheme is optional, but if your url has it, it should be parsed into that field.

On the server side you don't know the scheme used. It isn't part of the request as such. It has to be determined based on the properties of the port that got the request (if you are listening with TLS on a port, the request you got is definitely some flavour of https).

  If you have a reverse proxy, or load balancer in front of your app it maybe get passed the scheme in a header (x-forwarded-proto IIRC)
