We found that Debian-packaged uWSGI is missing one param in uwsgi_params so you should use this instead: location / { uwsgi_pass <xxx>; include uwsgi_params; uwsgi_param UWSGI_SCHEME $scheme; } Without the UWSGI_SCHEME part, Django's Request.get_absolute_uri will return URIs starting with 'http' even if your site is served over HTTPS.
