🔼 added $resolved_proto map

 to ensure that the X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-Scheme headers reflect the most accurate protocol. The resolved_proto variable prioritizes the X-Forwarded-Proto header (set by sources like Cloudflare or AWS) and falls back to $scheme when unavailable, then this value is used to set Scheme and Proto instead of $scheme
