[fix] replace X-Scheme by X-Forwarded-Proto header (#5107)

2025-08-10T11:05:40+00:00

The HTTP X-Forwarded-Proto (XFP) request header is a *de-facto* standard header
for identifying the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) that a client used to connect to a
proxy or load balancer.[1]

The ``X-Scheme`` header was added 10 years ago, why ``X-Scheme`` was used back
then and not ``X-Forwarded-Proto``, nobody knows today / possibly because
``X-Forwarded-Proto`` wasn't a *de-facto* standard back then.

[mod] remove option ui.static_use_hash (cache busting) (#5004)

2025-07-11T14:53:36+00:00

Cache busting has caused serious problems for users in the past, here are two
examples:

- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4419
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4481

And it makes development and deployment significantly more complex because it
binds the client side to the server side:

- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4466

In the light of a decoupled development of the WEB clients from the server side:

- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4988

is it appropriate to abandon this feature. In fact,  it has been ineffective
since #4436 anyway.

However, the benefit has always been questionable, since at best only a few kB
of data are saved (at least in the context of an image_proxy, the effect is below
the detection limit). Ultimately, the client is responsible for caching.
