I think i already tried what you suggested, but that doesn't work because i have to set a specific protocol in the proxy_pass command (http or https). If i have a mixed upstream group like
upstream proxy_backend {
server xxx.xx.188.53;
server xxx.xx.188.53:443;
}
i always get protocol errors like 502 or 400 because i cannot switch between http and https in the proxy_pass command

I suggest you proxy traffic to an upstream group, and then use failure/timeout parameters there with proper tuning to retry requests on the second upstream in case the first in the list fails.
?It will have an overhead if the 1st entry of the upstream group is invalid on initial connection, but hopefully the 'down' status will help limiting that overhead on average.?

No they cannot be the same (sadly) because i dont't know how the upstream is serving the content. Think of a situation where i am not in control of the upstream backends and they may change from http to https over time.

If you are SSL on the frontend (server directive) why would you want to proxy between ssl/non-ssl on the upstreams? Can they not be the same? I don't get what you are trying to solve?

Subject: Nginx multiple upstream with different protocols
Hi,
i'm trying to setup two Nginx upstreams (one with HTTP and one with HTTPS) and the proxy_pass module should decide which of the upstreams is serving "valid" content.
The config should look like this:
upstream proxy_backend {
server xxx.xx.188.53;
server xxx.xx.188.53:443;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
...
location / {
proxy_pass http://proxy_backendhttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__proxy-5Fbackend&d=DwMFAw&c=WUZzGzAb7_N4DvMsVhUlFrsw4WYzLoMP5bgx2U7ydPE&r=20GRp3QiDlDBgTH4mxQcOIMPCXcNvWGMx5Y0qmfF8VE&m=ggR0dMpbDQRqzdhj1Aoq_FUpo8iYplzYiTPyRlQMs9Y&s=wcDWb0xGOKhBVtan1kM5-AVvxNT0ZMnUT9r-yLbyjAQ&e=;
#proxy_pass https://proxy_backendhttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__proxy-5Fbackend&d=DwMFAw&c=WUZzGzAb7_N4DvMsVhUlFrsw4WYzLoMP5bgx2U7ydPE&r=20GRp3QiDlDBgTH4mxQcOIMPCXcNvWGMx5Y0qmfF8VE&m=ggR0dMpbDQRqzdhj1Aoq_FUpo8iYplzYiTPyRlQMs9Y&s=ztdy1u_d7Ag0QPBnpk1R-LazdfexcrTnljKLZet4VFA&e=;
}
}
The Problem is that i don't know if the upstream is serving the content via http or https. Is there any possibility to tell nginx to change the protocol from the proxy_pass directive? Because if i set proxy_pass to https, i get an error (502 / 400) if the upstream website is running on http and vice versa.
So i'm searching for a way to let Nginx decide if he should proxy_pass via http or https. Can anybody help me with that configuration?
Thanks
Greets
