proxy SSL redirects

[Pavel Ivashkov]

Hello all,

  I have configured nginx-0.7.31 to proxy SSL requests (see config
  below; and yes - I need SSL on the back-end as well as on the
  front-end).
  
  While it perfectly works for cia back-end, I have an issue with
  paypal: the first request to https://ahchoo:2443/ redirects user to
  https://www.paypal.com/.

  Any suggestions on what have I missed?

  nginx.conf:
  ===================
worker_processes  1;
error_log logs/error.log debug;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


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

    access_log  logs/access.log;

    sendfile        on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    upstream paypal {
      server  www.paypal.com:443;
    }
    upstream cia {
      server  www.cia.gov:443;
    }

    server {
        listen       2443;
        server_name  ahchoo;

        ssl                  on;
        ssl_certificate      ssl/ahchoo.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key  ssl/ahchoo.key;

        location / {
            proxy_pass https://paypal;
            proxy_redirect    default;
        }
    }

}
  ===================
