Good day!

I have installed NGINX Reverse Proxy before Discourse, where certificates are managed, so the user connects to Discourse via a secure HTTPS connection.

However, some template files, such as icons, are downloaded over HTTP, which causes Firefox to report an insecure connection. These files are:

```
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" type="image/png" href="http://
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml"
<meta name="twitter:image"

```

and other.

If I enable the “Force HTTPs” mode in the settings, this problem disappears, but there is another - I can neither create categories, nor create new topics, nor even log in - the forum gives the 403rd error.

Version 2.3.0 is currently installed.beta 8 +123.

Thank you in advance
