Comment (by opme4r):

 Another approach is to have the web server set the fastcgi HTTPS variable
 based on the X-Forworded-Proto or Forwarded http header.

 For nginx that would look like:

 {{{
 http {
     # …
     map $http_x_forwarded_proto $fastcgi_https {
         https on;
         default "";
     }

     server {
         listen 80;
         listen [::]:80;

         # …
         location ~ \.php$ {
             fastcgi_pass app_fpm;
             fastcgi_param HTTPS $fastcgi_https if_not_empty;
 # …
 }}}
