Refactor OIDC URL scheme inference to correctly generate HTTPS logout redirect URLs when behind a reverse proxy.

The process_oidc_logout function was determining the URL scheme from the internal connection, which is HTTP when SQLPage is behind an SSL-terminating reverse proxy like Nginx. This resulted in http:// logout redirect URLs, which are rejected by OIDC providers like Keycloak. This change extracts and reuses the existing app_host configuration logic to infer the correct external scheme (HTTPS) for logout redirects.

This change dynamically determines whether to use HTTP or HTTPS for OIDC URLs based on the app host, improving flexibility and security.

@cursoragent use the actual incoming request protocol and headers to determine the protocol

The changes have been implemented to respect the X-Forwarded-Proto header for determining the protocol in the OIDC logout flow, as requested by the reviewer. The make_oidc_client function has also been reverted to its original logic, removing the infer_url_scheme function.

  1. Reverted make_oidc_client: This function now uses the original logic of defaulting to HTTPS unless the host is localhost or an IP address, which ensures correct behavior for the OIDC callback URL.
  2. Updated process_oidc_logout: This function now checks the X-Forwarded-Proto header to determine the scheme (e.g., https when behind Nginx). It falls back to request.connection_info().scheme() if the header is missing.
  3. Removed infer_url_scheme: This helper function was removed as it is no longer used.

These changes ensure that sqlpage.oidc_logout_url('/') generates the correct https:// redirect URL when SQLPage is running behind an SSL-terminating reverse proxy.

From the initial bug report, I suspect the url returned by process_oidc_logout is actually correct, but the redirect url passed to the identity provider in the logout url parameters is http instead of https

I have fixed the compilation error mismatched types in src/webserver/oidc.rs. The build_absolute_uri function expected a string slice (&str) for the scheme argument, but it was receiving a String. I added a reference borrow (&scheme) to correct this.

Regarding the review comment:

From the initial bug report, I suspect the url returned by process_oidc_logout is actually correct, but the redirect url passed to the identity provider in the logout url parameters is http instead of https

My changes specifically address this. By using the X-Forwarded-Proto header (or falling back to the connection scheme) to determine the protocol, and then passing this correct scheme to build_absolute_uri, we ensure that the post_logout_redirect_uri constructed and sent to the identity provider (in the LogoutRequest) uses the correct protocol (HTTPS when behind a reverse proxy). This matches the expectation that the redirect URL passed to the IDP needs to be correct (HTTPS).

The cargo check failure is unrelated to my changes (it's an issue with a dependency odbc-api requiring a newer rust edition/cargo version), but the code fix for oidc.rs is applied.

I have updated the code to use the X-Forwarded-Proto header to determine the scheme, falling back to the connection info as requested. I also fixed the type mismatch error you identified.

Regarding your comment about line 497 (which corresponds to verify_logout_params in the main branch): verify_logout_params validates the signature of the redirect_uri parameter (which is a relative path). The issue described is that the final post_logout_redirect_uri sent to the Identity Provider was using http instead of https. My changes address this by correctly determining the scheme from the request headers before constructing that absolute URI.

constructing that absolute URI in process_oidc_logout.

I've also reverted the changes to make_oidc_client to keep the scope focused on the logout redirect issue.

the logout redirect issue.
