Proxy Pass is causing to many redirects when web.xml is upshifting to SSL via security-constraint. It seems like tomcat doesn't like receiving proxy_pass with http://localhost:8080 and tries to convert to SSL again. What gives? Configs follow...

Nginx 1.2.6 Config:

server {
listen www.mydomain.com:80;
listen www.mydomain.com:443 ssl;

ssl_certificate my.crt;
ssl_certificate_key my.key;
ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}

location /images {
root /var/www;
}
}

Web.xml

<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Billing</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/billing/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-collection>

</security-constraint>

Tomcat Server.xml

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"
redirectPort="443" <!-- This tell tomcat what port to use when security-constraint is provided in web.xml -->
proxyName="www.mydomain.com"
proxyPort="80"/>


Please help.
