Question:
WireCloud and Horizon behind HTTPS proxy

Description:
We have a proxy running that serves HTTPS pages to the internet. Therefore it redirects requests into our DMZ where the pages are served as HTTP pages.

We got WireCloud set up to run at a subdomain: wirecloud.example.com. Horizon runs at horizon.example.com.

In Horizon the Callback URL is set to: http://wirecloud.example.com/complete/fiware/ and in the settings.py of Wirecloud the FIWARE_IDM_SERVER = 'http://horizon.example.com' is set.

Now, when wirecloud.example.com/login gets called, it is redirected to https by our proxy and then redirected to horizon by wireclound what then gets redirected by our proxy to https://horizon.example.com/oauth2/authorize/?state=STATE_KEY&redirect_uri=http://wirecloud.example.com/complete/fiware/&response_type=code&client_id=CLIENT_ID. If the user is not logged in and now does so the redirect_uri gets transformed to this: http%253A%252F%252Fwirecloud.example.com%252Fcomplete%252Ffiware%252F what leads to this error:

(HTTP 400). If the user is already logged in and tries to authorize the app (WireCloud) a 405 error gets thrown:

Environment:

Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://wirecloud.example.com/complete/fiware/?state=STATE_KEY&code=CODE

So how do we need to configure WireCloud and/or Horizon and/or our proxy to get this to work?
