Hi all,

Thanks for this superb and simple control tool :) (no pun intended)
I do have a small question tho, instead of using the normal http, I would like to use httpS

My settings are:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name _ webvirtcloud.domainname.com;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/webvirtcloud-access_log;
    location / {
        rewrite ^(.*) https://webvirtcloud.domainname.com$1 permanent;
    }
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;

    server_name webvirtcloud.domainname.com;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/webvirtcloud-ssl-access_log;

    ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/wildcard.domainname.com.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/wildcard.domainname.com.key;
    ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
    ssl_ciphers "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4";
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

    client_max_body_size 4M;
    client_body_buffer_size 128k;

    location /static/ {
        root /srv/webvirtcloud;
        expires max;
    }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $remote_addr;
        proxy_connect_timeout 600;
        proxy_read_timeout 600;
        proxy_send_timeout 600;
        client_max_body_size 1024M;
    }

    error_page 404 /404.html;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

}

But when i go to the site, i get redirected to :
http://webvirtcloud.domainname.com:443/accounts/login/

:I receive a

400 Bad Request

The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port
nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)

any thoughts ?

Thx,
Ronny

Have fixed this with a ugly hack for now:

    error_page 400 https://$host$request_uri;
    error_page 404 /404.html;
    error_page 497 https://$host$request_uri;
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

Django needs headers to manage schema when behind a proxy so
I've solved with this

But console is not working, still getting Server disconnected (code: 1006)

Guess it's a certificate issue because I'm using a self signed one... for this I need help too.
