reverse proxy an apache who forces ssl

while SSL handshaking to upstream, client: 8.12.87.11, server:
www.acme.eu, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream:

The error is kinda saying that the upstream is not talking SSL (or vice 
versa if I'm wrong).


Can you show what does this return ( change the 10.10.2.1 to your backend 
apache ip/host if its not the real one from the error message):

openssl s_client -connect 10.10.2.1:443


It will either return the SSL cert information (then the backend is fine and 
the problem is on nginx side) or the same error.
