I’ve successfully set up nginx\_webserver as a reverse proxy to a  
webserver

Ie:  
client\_browser → nginx\_webserver → internal\_webserver:443

=-=-=-=-=

Is it possible to get nginx to act as a reverse proxy that connects to  
an https forward proxy?

Ie:  
client\_browser → nginx\_webserver:443 → squid\_proxy:8000 →   
internal\_webserver:443

Thank you,

Robert
