What is "the HTTPS header"?

This sounds like one or more fastcgi_param key/value pairs are not set
the way your application wants them to be set.

http://nginx.org/r/fastcgi_param is how you set them. And it
includes an example with the $https variable, which is described in
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#variables

The usual nginx directive inheritance rules apply, so you'll want to add
your fastcgi_param line to the correct place -- possibly just after you
include the external file.
