You changed the nginx config so that tomcat could be able to tell whether
the original request was https or not.

Did you change the tomcat config so that it would recognise this signal,
and would accept that "originally https" was enough to consider it
as secure?

It looks to me like the redirect loops are coming from tomcat, not nginx.

If you can't configure tomcat the way you want to, perhaps configuring
nginx to proxy_pass to a https:// url when appropriate would be an
adequate workaround, at least for testing purposes?
