Had the same problem. I was running monit 4.8 and running into the same 
issues. You need monit 4.9 or later to handle reverse proxying. This 
post helped me get monit 4.10 installed without re-compiling from 
source: http://route19.com/logbook/view/monit-410-on-ubuntu-804.

So the answer is yes, nginx can do this with the proper version of 
monit. Here's the relevant nginx set-up that worked for me:

        location /monit/ {
                auth_basic "Restricted";
                auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/auth.passwd;
                rewrite ^/monit/(.*) /$1 break;
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812/;
        }

Hope this helps you
