Hello, my apologies if this topic has already been covered. I have searched the forum (as well as Google) and was unable to find a relevant post/thread.

I have Nginx front-ending several Apache virtual hosts on port 80. I have a python web server behind the Nginx proxy listening on port 1213. I only want Nginx front-ending SSL for the Python app via desired.hostname.com. If I attempt to access any of the virtual hosts with HTTPS, I am able. It is as though the Nginx server is ignoring the server_name directive completely.

I have attempted to get around this issue by creating a second "server" instance (the one on top below), which _kinda_ works. the if/rewrite does redirect non-"desired.hostname.com" requests to Google, however, the HTTPS scheme is always preserved. I simply want to redirect users to another site (Google as an example), while also changing the scheme from HTTPS to HTTP.

nginx version: nginx/0.8.33
openSUSE 11.2 (i586)

Relevant config entries:
