Bootstrap writes the canonical URL it prompts for here, leaving it empty for the placeholder. An empty or non-HTTPS origin disables the [HTTPS redirect](#https-redirect), which `https.trustForwardedProto` must enable besides — a `301` is cached for a long time, so it is never issued at a host nobody named.
