/// Behind a TLS-terminating proxy the server only sees plain HTTP, so the visitor's scheme survives only in the `X-Forwarded-Proto` header the proxy
/// sets. Redirecting collapses the `http://` and `https://` copies of every page onto one address what a search engine consolidates a site's signals
/// against.
///
/// Three deliberate choices:
/// - **`301`, not `302`.** A temporary redirect tells a crawler the HTTP address is the canonical one, so the HTTP URLs stay indexed. Browsers cache a
/// `301` for a long time, so the target must be settled before enabling this.
/// - **The target comes from ``Configuration/origin``, not the request's `Host` header.** A client cannot steer a configured origin, so it can neither
/// aim the redirect elsewhere nor poison a shared cache with the result.
/// - **`/.well-known/` is exempt.** A certificate authority looks there for an ACME challenge over plain HTTP; redirecting it away breaks renewal, and
/// the breakage surfaces only when the certificate expires.
