Hi list,
I am testing the nginx ssl proxy (thank Michael for this new feature!).
I notice that some websites fail to load after the nginx proxy is
enabled. Reason for this is that they all have a config to force the
visitor to a https connection. Because apache now only sees a http
connection, it keeps responding with a redirect to the https version.
The browser follows this redirect, hits nginx which makes a http
connection to apache which results in the same redirect, causing a loop.
In my situation, I can divide these "problematic" websites into two
categories:
a) wordpress sites, with a force https setting in wordpress itself
b) non wordpress sites, with a force https setting in a .htaccess file
Now for type a websites, I have found a method to systemwide resolve
this issue:
I have created a file /etc/httpd/conf.d/nginx-ssl-proxy.conf which only
contains
SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-Proto "https" HTTPS=on
et voila: all wordpress sites are working again.
@Michael: If it can do no harm, this little addition might be useful for
everybody?
For type b websites, I have yet to find a system wide solution. I can
solve it by editing all single .htaccess files, adding a rewriterule
condition:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
If someone knows a systemwide solution, so I don't have to edit all
single .htaccess files, please let me know :)
Kind regards,

Maurice
