When using a proxy to handle HTTPS, your **application server** (for example Uvicorn via FastAPI CLI) doesn't known anything about the HTTPS process, it communicates with plain HTTP with the **TLS Termination Proxy**.

This **proxy** would normally set some HTTP headers on the fly before transmitting the request to the **application server**, to let the application server know that the request is being **forwarded** by the proxy.

Check this function, it already has type hints:

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial003_py310.py hl[1] *}

Because the editor knows the types of the variables, you don't only get completion, you also get error checks:

<img src="/img/python-types/image04.png">

Now you know that you have to fix it, convert `age` to a string with `str(age)`:

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial004_py310.py hl[2] *}

The query parameter `q` is of type `str | None`, that means that it's of type `str` but could also be `None`, and indeed, the default value is `None`, so FastAPI will know it's not required.

/// note

FastAPI will know that the value of `q` is not required because of the default value `= None`.

Having `str | None` will allow your editor to give you better support and detect errors.

///

* and from it, import the function `get_token_header`.

That would refer to some package above `app/`, with its own file `__init__.py`, etc. But we don't have that. So, that would throw an error in our example. 🚨

But now you know how it works, so you can use relative imports in your own apps no matter how complex they are. 🤓
