 Ensuring that all your main endpoints are only available over HTTPS is an important
 chore for any application.  If you are using Tomcat as a servlet container, then
 Spring Boot will add Tomcat's own `RemoteIpValve` automatically if it detects some
 environment settings, and you should be able to rely on the `HttpServletRequest` to
