OJS 3 behind reverse proxy - how to achieve?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run OJS 3 behind a reverse proxy. I terminate SSL at the reverse proxy and do the communication to the backend in http (quite a standard setup I think).
As I saw that there is the possibility to configure a base_url in config.inc.php I thought this should be easy.

But it's not. I see that the value for base_url is unfortunately almost never used to "calculate" URLs: When I look at the source code of the start-page I see none of the URLs for links, css or scripts uses https which renders the page useless as browsers do not load script- and css files over http into a page loaded with https. Even setting base_url[index] does not help here. Links get https as scheme this way but not the scripts and stylesheet (these are all the links in the startpage):

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://MYSITE/ojs3/$$$call$$$/page/page/css?name=stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Am I missing something?
What can I do?
