Is it possible to change the base url in mod_pagespeed to use https

We are using Google PageSpeed module running on Apache, it is possible to configure it so that the base url uses https?

It currently outputs the following.

<noscript>
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0;url='http://example.com/?ModPagespeed=noscript'" />
    <style><!--table,div,span,font,p{display:none} --></style>
    <div style="display:block">Please click <a href="http://example.com/?ModPagespeed=noscript">here</a> if you are not redirected within a few seconds.</div>
</noscript>

It should be https://example.com - It there a setting inpagespeed.conf to correct this?

    ModPagespeedRespectXForwardedProto on

    The documentation for https support explains the process.
