When using sinopia behind a HTTPS proxy (e.g. with rnbwd/sinopia) CSS, favicon and other resources are loaded from the HTTP URL. This causes a MixedContent error in most modern browsers, preventing i.e. the CSS file to be loaded.
This pull request removes setting the 'base' URL explicitly, because 'req.protocol' contains 'HTTP' when a HTTPS proxy is forwarding the request. Leaving the 'base' URL empty makes the browser choose the correct protocol automatically.
