Hello,

I have a standalone docker install of discourse running. But the emojis are failing to display because the link to them is a little strange. example:

`https://https//community.ist.ac.at:443/images/emoji/twitter/kissing_closed_eyes.png?v=5`

I have no idea why the extra **https//** is being added here.

Discourse is running a standard http set up, behind a https proxy that forwards requests from `https://community.ist.ac.at` to the discourse host machine port 80.

I have the DISCOURSE\_HOSTNAME set as `community.ist.ac.at`

Any ideas?  
Thanks

That’s where I’d be looking first.

More specifically, are you passing a header named `X-Forwarded-Proto`? You should 🙂

Ok, for some reason its working now. Initially there was an issue with the proxy that was fixed, I think I just posted the emoji before this fix and only refreshed the page after the fix to see if it worked, which it didn’t. After posting a new emoji I found out that the links are working fine.

Thanks.
