Are you trying to do something like this?
server foo {
listen 443 ssl;
...other settings elided...
location /foo/ {
https://external_site/;
}
}
If https://external_site/ traverses a proxy then the answer is “no” – nginx
can’t deal with proxy situations where it has to issue HTTP CONNECT. I don’t
know much about squid but I expect you’ll have the same problem. You’ll see
that requests will just …fail.
I got around it by creating a little node.js app to fetch the external resource
from external_site and pointed nginx at the node app. Feels like a bit of a
hack but it works well enough. Incidentally I found pm2 to be a really nice
container to turn 50 lines of js into a decent service that runs as a
non-privileged user, starts on boot, restarts automatically on exception, logs,
etc. etc.

Subject: [IE] Can Nginx used as a reverse proxy send HTTP(s) requests through a
forward proxy ?
Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to do what's described in the mail subject ?
I've had a look through Internet and docs but haven't been able to figure it
out. The question is similar to the one that's asked here :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45900356/how-to-configure-nginx-as-reverse-proxy-for-the-site-which-is-behind-squid-prox,
but that thread doesn't provide an answer.
I've been able to do this with Apache and its ProxyRemote directive, but I
can't figure out if this is doable with Nginx.
Thanks,
Nicolas
