Description

The section Enabling HTTPS support describe

In this configuration, any requests made over the plain http protocol will automatically be redirected to use the https protocol. However, this is not optimal when using a load balancer.

but the section Using HTTPS with a load balancer describe

However, when using a load balancer you MUST set GITLAB_HTTPS to true. Additionally you will need to set the SSL_SELF_SIGNED option to true if self signed SSL certificates are in use.

In my opinion this is contradictory. Do I miss something?
