Having odd situation, even don’t know how to search in google, how to  
describe it…Anyway I’m using Nginx and proxy’ing https traffic to  
upstream  
server. Everything is fine with http (with others domains) but can’t get  
it  
to work with https…

Here is my nginx config

upstream umarket { server 192.168.2.11:443; }

# Upstream

server {  
listen 80;  
listen 443 ssl http2;  
server\_name umarket.lt;

```
error_log /var/log/nginx/umarket.lt_error.log;

add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";

ssl on;
ssl_certificate

```

/etc/nginx/ssl/umarket.lt/umarket\_lt\_chained.crt;  
ssl\_certificate\_key /etc/nginx/ssl/umarket.lt/server.key;  
ssl\_session\_cache builtin:1000 shared:SSL:10m;  
ssl\_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;  
ssl\_ciphers  
HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4;  
ssl\_prefer\_server\_ciphers on;

```
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For 

```

$proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;  
proxy\_next\_upstream error timeout invalid\_header http\_500  
http\_502 http\_503 http\_504;  
proxy\_ssl\_session\_reuse off;  
proxy\_cache\_bypass $http\_secret\_header;  
proxy\_ignore\_headers Set-Cookie;  
proxy\_ignore\_headers Cache-Control;

```
location = / {

    proxy_pass $scheme://umarket;

}

```

}

What is your backend server? Maybe problem can persist in backend? I’m  
using  
Litespeed web server.

Change location = / {} to location / {} because the = / means only that  
particular request (just the index page) will be proxied

Yep this is it, just wanted to update status as somebody from  
serverfault

Also: no need to secure front-end to back-end proxy\_pass to backend  
with  
port :80
