does nginx forward requests to backend servers using http or https?

[Brian Pugh]

Are you referring to the proxy pass declaration? If so I get an error when I uncomment that line out saying "nginx: [emerg] "proxy_pass" directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:40?"

You define what you want it sent to the backend as.  So if you use http://backendserver it's http, if https://backendserver:443 - https.

I am using the free version of nginx on RHEL 6.7. The version is :


nginx-1.10.1-1.el6.ngx.x86_64


When using nginx as a load balancer I would like to know if nginx forwards requests to backend servers using http or https??
