So while this worked well for port 80:

when I tried to add listen for port 443 it broke the https for requests
with the valid hostname as well.

## disable http server for requests with unknown hosts
server {

    listen      IP:80     default_server;
#   listen      IP:443    default_server;    # breaks all https??
    return      444;
}

what's the trick to do the same for https without breaking the requests
for https://myhost/ ?
