Would an addition be useful to the [documentation site](https://docs.syncthing.net/users/discosrv.html) for discosrv detailing the two Nginx (and equivalent Apache) settings needed for running behind a reverse proxy? Even with @AudriusButkevicius’s help, it took me a looong time to sort this out ☹

Something like:

## Reverse Proxy considerations

When running discosrv behind a reverse proxy, ensure the following are set in your Nginx configuration:

- `proxy_set_header X-SSL-Cert $ssl_client_cert;`
- `ssl_verify_client optional_no_ca;`

Or for Apache:

- ???
