'Django allauth not sending links with https

I want Django Allauth to send links like the confirm e-mail or reset password with https:

Something like this:

https://example.com/ca/accounts/confirm-email/picuwfpjpptjswi50x5zb4gtsqptmwkscea445kadnbsfwcyij3fdnblery4onuq/

According to the official documentation only changing the following setting in settings.py it should work:

ACCOUNT_DEFAULT_HTTP_PROTOCOL = "https"

But I keep getting the links with http instead of https like this:

http://example.com/ca/accounts/confirm-email/picuwfpjpptjswi50x5zb4gtsqptmwkscea445kadnbsfwcyij3fdnblery4onuq/

Am I missing something? Thank you!

Besides setting the "HTTPS" environment variable and SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT, also seems that can be problem when rendering template and sending mail with EmailMultiAlternatives() when .txt body is used as is in adapter.py render_mail() [1]: https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/blob/master/allauth/account/adapter.py

for ext in ["html", "txt"]:
        try:
            template_name = "{0}_message.{1}".format(template_prefix, ext)
            bodies[ext] = render_to_string(
                template_name,
                context,
                self.request,
            ).strip()
        except TemplateDoesNotExist:
            if ext == "txt" and not bodies:
                # We need at least one body
                raise
    if "txt" in bodies:
        msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, bodies["txt"], from_email, to)
        if "html" in bodies:
            msg.attach_alternative(bodies["html"], "text/html")
    else:
        msg = EmailMessage(subject, bodies["html"], from_email, to)
        msg.content_subtype = "html"  # Main content is now text/html
    return msg

For example print(bodies[ext]) gave:

  "To confirm this is correct, go to " https://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/confirm-email/MjI:1kS0Mj:M5YfUf9-1Vg_TlgjVrK6vAtaLDE/ "

but on email is still http://

 http://url7514.sitename/ls/click?upn=HJL2SSWV...

With most devices also this worked since should be redirected still to https://, but on some didn't, so had to change in default templates/account/email/email_confirmation_message.txt to html extension, after result :

To confirm this is correct, go to https://sitename/accounts/confirm-email/M...

If you use django behind a proxy, you have to send https headers to django. What works for me in apache2 was to put this on apache2

<VirtualHost *:443>
  RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto 'https' env=HTTPS

After adding headers mod:

a2enmod headers

And this on django setting.py:

USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = True
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')

With this all my build_absolute_uri started with https, and the same for templates, this include password recovery and auth mails.
