Did this work out for you?  I'm currently trying to deploy a similar setup, with 
X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Protocol as suggested in Dancer2::Config, 
but the "behind_proxy" config setting is being ornery.  I've got it set to 1 in all 
three config files (overkill), and the "is_behind_proxy" request flag is ALWAYS 0!

I'm still debugging it here...

Thanks!

PS, I'm using Dancer2 0.152000 on Debian Jessie.
