+ // Try the best guess to get the current host URL (will be used for public URL) by http headers.
// At the moment, if site admin doesn't configure the proxy headers correctly, then Gitea would guess wrong.
// There are some cases:
// 1. The reverse proxy is configured correctly, it passes "X-Forwarded-Proto/Host" headers. Perfect, Gitea can handle it correctly.
// 2. The reverse proxy is not configured correctly, doesn't pass "X-Forwarded-Proto/Host" headers, eg: only one "proxy_pass http://gitea:3000" in Nginx.
