Django seems to strip https from static file URLs – why?

Having just switched my site to be served over SSL, I'm having trouble getting Django to pick up on the correct generated URL:s for static files.

My STATIC_URL setting is in the form of https://example.com/assets/static/

When I do {% static 'css/file.css' %} in a template, the path comes out as http://example.com/assets/static/css/file.css — which is the same as before.

Things I've tried to remedy this:

The same thing happens with MEDIA_URL. However, if I drop into an interactive shell and import a model, and then print out the .url property of an uploaded image file (for example), it comes out with the correct https://-prefix.

Running Django 1.9.5, using CachedStaticFileLoader for static files, Gunicorn (v 19.4), and template caching. Cache engine is memcached.

Any ideas on what's going on?

Edit: Settings changes for STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL are not being picked up at all, it seems, although other code changes seem to work. I have not idea what's going on...

The answer was that no settings changes were picked up at all – the Gunicorn process was hung up trying to restart somehow (no matter how many times I told it to), keeping the old process going. Changes to templates etc got picked up (as those are not python files), but the STATIC_URL was never updated.

Stupidly simple answer: reboot ALL THE THINGS.
