How do I get nginx to issue 301 requests to HTTPS location, when SSL handled by a load-balancer?
- by growse
I've noticed that there's functionality enabled in nginx by default, whereby a url request without a trailing slash for a directory which exists in the filesystem automatically has a slash added through a 301 redirect.
E.g. if the directory css exists within my root, then requesting http://example.com/css will result in a 301 to http://example.com/css/.
However, I have another site where the SSL is offloaded by a load-balancer. In this case, when I request https://example.com/css, nginx issues a 301 redirect to http://example.com/css/, despite the fact that the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO header is set to https by the load balancer.
Is this an nginx bug? Or a config setting I've missed somewhere?
