# Sorry, there was a typo in the previous question. I couldn’t delete the previous one. Hence posting again.

When it happens to be http traffic proxy server works but doesn’t work  
for  
the https. I pasted both the sevrer configurations below. Please look at  
proxy\_pass directive.

server {  
listen 8080;

location / {  
resolver 8.8.8.8;  
proxy\_pass https://$http\_host$uri$is\_args$args; // Works  
}

server {  
listen 8090;

location / {  
resolver 8.8.8.8;  
proxy\_pass https://$http\_host$uri$is\_args$args; // Doesn’t work  
}
