Hello,

I have HTTPS/SSL server configured like this:

server {  
listen 1.2.3.4:443 ssl;  
server\_name ssl.dom.tld

```
   ssl on;
   keepalive_timeout 70;

   access_log /var/log/nginx/ssl-access.log;
   error_log /var/log/nginx/ssl-error.log;

   location / {

           proxy_pass https://10.0.0.1;

           proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 

```

http\_502 http\_503;  
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\_redirect off;  
}  
}

Is it possible to forward also _http_ (not https) requests made to port  
443  
to the backend (10.0.0.1) port 443 ?

Yes I know, it doesn’t make any sense basicly, but I have a broken  
application that wants to receive both http and https requests on port  
443.

Is that possible with nginx?

    error_page 497 = @no_https;

    location @no_https {
            proxy_pass https://10.0.0.1;

            proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header 

```

http\_500 http\_502 http\_503;  
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\_redirect off;  
}
