reverse proxy HTTP->HTTPS

[dm.dv at cia.com]

Hi ALL!

Sorry for my silly question. I’m tying to set up NGINX as a reverse  
proxy to translate HTTP->HTTPS.
Frontend (NGINX) and Backend (Sun Webserver 7.0) are situated at  
different servers.
HTTP->HTTP work without any problem, but I cannot make works  
HTTP->HTTPS (if it is possible at all).
OS: sun solaris 10 (sparc). Could you please tell me what I’m doing WRONG.

Thank you for your help.
