I'm trying to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS. The web server I'm using is nginx. This is the server block I'm using to do the redirect.

server {
    listen      80;
    rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

This successfully redirects URLs like http://localhost to https://localhost. However, for URLs like http://localhost/table/ I get redirected to https://table which is incorrect. I would like it to re-direct to https://localhost/table/

Any help would be much appreciated.

Update: It seems that the rewrite scheme has a problem with trailing slashes. For example, http://localhost/table gets correctly redirected but http://localhost/table/ does not.

  • can you try to hardcode the server name like https:// localhost$request_uri? permanent; and check if it works

  • Hard coding the server name to localhost fixes it. However, other machines cannot access it as they get redirected to localhost, instead of the server name.

  • Ok, so nginx is not getting $server_name. Set the servername $server_name domain.com

  • I don't think that's the problem. To test it out, I've set server_name and I still get the same behaviour. It looks like the rewrite rule is getting confused and is treating /table/ as the server name.

  • Are you sure that your problem isn't in your https server configuration?
