The server{} block you provided is http-only, not https. On the
other hand, what you ask about needs correct configuration of two
server blocks, one for http, and another one for https.

Here is an example:

server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;

location / {
# we are in http server, but want https for normal
# requests - redirect to https

return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

location /http_only_service {
... do real work here ...
}
}

server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name www.example.com;

ssl_certificate ...
ssl_certificate_key ...

location / {
... do real work here ...
}

location /http_only_service {
# this is http only service, but we are in https
# server - redirect to http

return 301 http://$host$request_uri;
}
}

Hope this helps.
