Hello Everyone,

I've try to use nginx as ssl front-end for tomcat with ssl, and use port 8081 for front-end and back-end, but redirect from http to https does not work in this case.

Extract from nginx.conf:
[code]
server {
listen some_ip:8081;
server_name some_name_tld;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /usr/local/nginx/ssl/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/nginx/ssl/server.key;
ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;
ssl_session_cache builtin:1024;
ssl_session_timeout 30m;

gzip on;
gzip_types text/javascript text/css application/xml text/xml;
gzip_proxied any;

rewrite ^ https://$server_name:$server_port$request_uri redirect;

location /{

proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:8081/;
proxy_redirect off;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
[/code]

But following redirect works, if nginx listening on port 80.

Andrey Filatov.
