Forum: NGINX using nginx as proxy from http to https

Hello,

I'm trying to use nginx as a proxy server that should dispatch HTTP 
requests
to remote HTTPS server. Here are some configuration details which I'm 
using:


        location /test_server {
                proxy_pass
https://testserver.testdomainserver.com:9090/;
                proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        }

The problem is that when I send request to the nginx server I get 505 
error
from remote server. If I execute the request directly to the remote 
server
it works as expected. Some additional details that I can provide is that 
the
remote server is using basic authorization and only accepts requests 
through
HTTPS.

I also tried to bind server on port 443 with ssl on and certificates 
added,
but when I try to use it, I get the following error:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate 
verify
failed

The configuration steps which I tried are explained in:
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpSslModule

Any idea how can I make it work ?

HTTP 505 means HTTP Version Not Supported.

What version do you use when you execute the request directly?

What version does nginx use?

Do you see a different response from

curl -i -k https://testserver.testdomainserver.com:9090/

and

curl -i -k -0 https://testserver.testdomainserver.com:9090/

?

Good luck,

Actually it returns error 500. Here is the log information from 
access.log

[25/Oct/2012:18:44:10 +0300] "POST /testurl/testservice HTTP/1.1" 500 75 
"-"
"-"

Here is my version.

nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/0.7.67

In a few minutes I'll try with curl and will post the result.

Your version looks outdated ...
> 2012-09-25 nginx-1.2.4 stable version has been released. (See: 
http://nginx.org/)

Don't sure, wether this is the problem ...
Well, this is the oldest announcement I've found:
> 2009-12-15 nginx-0.8.30 development version has been released. (See: 
http://nginx.org/2009.html)

So your versions seems to be REALLY old!

Regards, Andre

I've update my version to: nginx: nginx version: nginx/1.0.5 and it 
seems
that the result is similar. Any other ideas ?
