Correct way in new versions of nginx Turn out my first answer to this question was correct at certain time, but is tunred into another pitfall, to stay up to date please check Taxing rewrite pitfalls I have been corrected by many SE users, so the credit goes to them, but more important, here is the correct code: server { listen 80; server_name my.domain.com; return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } server { listen 443 ssl; server_name my.domain.com; [....] }
