Can proxy use resolver to forward traffic to https sites?

Server NGINX
1

When it happens to be http traffic it works. if you look at the line
directive lines,

proxy_pass http://$http_host$uri$is_args$args; // Doesnt work
proxy_pass http://$http_host$uri$is_args$args; // Works

server {
    listen       8080;

    location / {
        resolver 8.8.8.8;
        proxy_pass http://$http_host$uri$is_args$args; // Doesn't

work
proxy_pass http://$http_host$uri$is_args$args; // Works
}

    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   html;
    }
}
