It ends up as 'HTTP_HTTPS':'on'

I'm assuming that nginx is adding the 'HTTP_' prefix, but that might be 
incorrect. A quick scan of the proxy module source didn't turn up anything obvious.

The proxied code uses 'HTTPS on' to determine that it is being accessed via SSL, 
which originated in mod_ssl I believe.
