See the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/19599143/1524502, and note the issues about being behind a reverse proxy or load balancer. Most likely, that is your problem.

The answerer in that question recommended using

request.getHeader("x-forwarded-proto")

instead, though that is dependent on your load balancer setting the header correctly.
