Hi,

I’m trying to use nginx as a reverse-proxy in front of a jetty (running  
artifactory[^1](http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Running+Behind+Apache+HTTPd)).

HTTPS → NGINX → HTTP → Jetty

In plain HTTP it works like a charm, but HTTPS fails. Jetty doesn’t  
recognizes the $scheme. I tried

```
    add_header Front-End-Https on;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;

```

Jetty or Artifactory ignores the protocol and some links are calculated  
as http:// others as relative links (which works). For Jetty it should  
work as stated here[^2](http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Tutorial/Apache#Proxying_SSL_on_Apache_to_HTTP_on_Jetty) .

May be there is something magic I can’t see?  
Can you share your config

Thanks for your help

Micha
