If your server is running behind a proxy server, make sure your proxy header is set:

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto  $scheme;

Then to get the right scheme & url you can use springframework's classes:

public String getUrl(HttpServletRequest request) {
    HttpRequest httpRequest = new ServletServerHttpRequest(request);
    UriComponents uriComponents = UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpRequest(httpRequest).build();

    String scheme = uriComponents.getScheme();             // http / https
    String serverName = request.getServerName();     // hostname.com
    int serverPort = request.getServerPort();        // 80
    String contextPath = request.getContextPath();   // /app

    // Reconstruct original requesting URL
    StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder();
    url.append(scheme).append("://");
    url.append(serverName);

    if (serverPort != 80 && serverPort != 443) {
        url.append(":").append(serverPort);
    }
    url.append(contextPath);
    return url.toString();
}
