 This is generally some things you want to add to your config, and is what's actually required for ShareS to work properly. This is because ShareS returns uploads like `[http/https]://[requested url]/[filename]` and since you're running ShareS through a reverse proxy, unless you're passing along the *original* headers, ShareS is most likely just going to send you something like `http://[server's real ip address]/[filename]`
