I think "not directly".

So, if the ssl-handling proxy does not have the equivalent of
proxy_redirect (http://nginx.org/r/proxy_redirect) to modify the Location:
header before it goes to the client; then you could use "absolute_redirect
off" (http://nginx.org/r/absolute_redirect) so that nginx will omit the
scheme and host and port from the Location: header, which all current
clients should Just Work with.
