uri_for() uses Dancer::Request::base() to determine scheme, host and port
from HTTP headers (actually %ENV). And Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy will
set those environments vars to relevant values using common reverse proxy
HTTP headers like HTTP_X_FORWARDED_*. So it should work (or base() should be
fixed so that this mode works)
