This is nginx config file:

user nginx nginx;
worker_processes  1;

events {
  worker_connections  1000;
  use epoll;
}

http {
  include        mime.types;
  default_type   application/octet-stream;

 upstream mosaic {
    server 127.0.0.1:8811;
  }

  server {
    listen       443;
    server_name  _ *;
    optimize_server_names off;

    ssl                         on;
    ssl_certificate             server.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key         server.key;
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers   on;

     location /mosaic/ {
      proxy_pass        http://mosaic;
      proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP          $remote_addr;  
      proxy_set_header  Host               $proxy_host;
    }

    location / {
      deny all;
    }
  }

  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name  _ *;
    optimize_server_names off;

    location / {
      root   html;
      index  index.html index.htm;
    } 
  }
}

This is curl transcript:

$ curl -v -k https://127.0.0.1/mosaic
