Thanks Maxim,

So i tried the setup, SSL connection between the client and Nginx ( ssl terminating at nginx) and then unencrypted from Nginx to Tomcat.

This is what my nginx.conf file looks like....

user www-data;
worker_processes 1;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;

sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;

#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
tcp_nodelay on;

gzip on;

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;



server {

server_name himesh.com;
listen 192.168.1.118:443;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/pound/himesh_com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/pound/himesh.key;

access_log /etc/pound/access.log;

location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://10.10.1.113:8080/;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}

}


Now form the client when i try [b]https://himesh.com[/b] i get the the tomcat default page, that is all good.

But [b]https://himesh.com/abc[/b] ( abc is an application deployed in tomcat), the browser returns [b]http://himesh.com/abc[/b] but now i don't have nginx listening on 80, so there is no answer . This only happens with https. It works fine when iam using just http..

Please advice..

Thank you,
himesh.
