HTTPS variable in $_SERVER using nginx as reverse proxy

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm using nginx as a reverse proxy in front of an apache with mod_php. My site is on https, and it would require the variable $_SERVER['HTTPS'] to be set 'on' to assemble some of the links correctly. My site is on drupal, so it is not an option to fix the code and check an other variable when deciding if the site runs under https. Is there a way to fix the issue only with tweaking the nginx or apache configuration? I found other people asking similar questions, but I did not found a solution that suits me, neither a clear statement that what I want is not possible. (e.g.: HTTPS server/php v (HowTos)

Stories similar to HTTPS variable in $_SERVER using nginx as reverse proxy

I have set up Nginx as a reverse proxy to Apache on a web server.

Nginx is listening on 0.0.0.0:80 and passing through to 127.0.0.1:81

This all seems to be working fine, except when I first load the site at the root level (i.e.

The following nginx codes won't forward resources of https://ooo.xxx/ to plain http content, because nginx doesn't support CONNECT when proxying(correct me if wrong).

I am using nginx as a reverse proxy listening at port 80 (http). I am using proxy_pass to forward requests to backend http and https servers. Everything works fine for my http server but when I try to reach the https server through nginx reverse proxy the ip of the https server is shown in the client's web browser.

Nginx unknown "https" variable 11 weeks 4 days ago

I've woken up this morning to find that a new Nginx server I've been teaching myself with is no longer serving websites. It looks like this is because Nginx is no longer running.

Nginx is an HTTP and reverse proxy server famous for its slick performance. A few days back, the people behind the Nginx project decided to form a company and thus set standards for all their operations. Nginx is not as popular as Apache but it is indeed a better option than Apache if you want peak performance and can manage the correct setup.

[ubuntu] NGINX Configuration 36 weeks 3 days ago

Hi there,

I'm trying to get NGINX set up as a reverse proxy server for multiple SSL sites on one IP using SNI.

I have a website running Nginx and Apache, ...Apache deals with PHP files, and Nginx the html static files, we have now changed the site so there are no html static files, only PHP files and this has heavy load on the server, so I wanted to put the nginx as a reverse proxy cache, so that the php files coming from Apache will be cached and delivered static...

I have a nginx server setup and it works fine for http however i would like to bypass the proxy for https connection.

I want it so that when someone goes to my ip https:// ip1 (Nginx server) it bypasses ngix and forwards all traffic to https:// ip2(webserver) i do not need ngix to do this for any ssl website just one particular website.

Client to https:// ip1 to https:/ /ip2 to https:// ip1
