I use the following vhost :

upstream upstream-server {
        server 192.168.1.1:80;
        server 192.168.1.2:80;
}


server {

        listen  XX.XX.XX.XX:80;
        server_name foo.test.com;

        access_log  /var/www/foo.test.com/logs/access.log;
        error_log  /var/www/foo.test.com/logs/error.log;


        location / {
                proxy_pass      http://upstream-server;
                include         /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
        }

}

server {

        listen  XX.XX.XX.XX:443;
        server_name foo.test.com;


        ssl on;
        ssl_certificate /var/www/foo.test.com/certif/foo.test.com.chained.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /var/www/foo.test.com/certif/foo.test.com.key;

        access_log  /var/www/foo.test.com/logs/access.log;
        error_log  /var/www/foo.test.com/logs/error.log;

        location / {
                proxy_pass      http://upstream-server;
                include         /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol https;
        }
}
