I want to redirect all requests to http to https. Is there a generic approach to setting wsgi.url_scheme to https in a Python 2.7 bottle application? The general structure of the

Forgive me if I'm not understanding your question, but why not just install a simple redirect plugin for your Bottle app? Something like this:

import bottle

app = bottle.app()

defredirect_http_to_https(callback):
    '''Bottle plugin that redirects all http requests to https'''defwrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        scheme = bottle.request.urlparts[0]
        if scheme == 'http':
            # request is http; redirect to https
            bottle.redirect(bottle.request.url.replace('http', 'https', 1))
        else:
            # request is already https; okay to proceedreturn callback(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrapper

bottle.install(redirect_http_to_https)

@bottle.route('/hello')defhello():
    return'hello\n'

bottle.run(host='127.0.0.1', port=8080)

Tested with curl:

For details on how plugins work, see the Bottle docs.

Briefly, this plugin works by intercepting all requests and checking the protocol ("scheme"). If the scheme is "http", the plugin instructs Bottle to return an HTTP redirect to the corresponding secure (https) URL.
