nginx config file for flask app (behind gunicorn) with ssl

yupyupnope.conf

server {
	listen 80;
	server_name www.yupyupnope.com;
	rewrite ^/(.*) https://yupyupnope.com/$1 permanent;
}

server {
	listen 80;
	server_name yupyupnope.com;
	rewrite ^/(.*) https://yupyupnope.com/$1 permanent;
}

server {
	listen 443;
	
	ssl on;
	ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/yupyupnope_com.crt;
	ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/yupyupnope_com.key;

	server_name yupyupnope.com;
	access_log /home/matt/log/yupyupnope.com/access.log;
	error_log /home/matt/log/yupyupnope.com/error.log;

	location / {
		# checks for static files; if not found, proxy to app
		try_files $uri @proxy_to_app;
	}

	location @proxy_to_app {
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
		proxy_redirect off;
		
		proxy_pass http://app_server;
	}

}

This was very helpful. Just noticed that nginx recommends something besides rewrites when possible: http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls (search for "taxing rewrites").

It would be something like return 301 https://yupyupnope.com$request_uri; in your example.

thanks, this is helpful to me.
