I assumed www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com have the same ip address
and hence will go to the same nginx instance. SSL only works with one
ip (unless you are using TLS with the server name stuff) so the server
{ listen 443; } gets traffic for both www.mydomain.com and
mydomain.com. But it needs to redirect when it does not have the www
to www.mydomain.com and also serve the real www.mydomain.com page when
you go to www.mydomain.com. Hence the difference.

Im sure there are other ways to do it, experiment a bit :)
