Nginx reverse proxy to an https address behind corporate proxy - nginx

Question

I am trying to setup an Nginx reverse proxy to an AWS API Gateway address like https://12345.execute-api.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v2 behind a corporate proxy.
I tried the following setup to www.example.com and it works. But as soon as I add https to it like https://www.example.com it fails. I add https since my API Gateway address is not accessible without it.
Current working config:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
listen 443;
underscores_in_headers on;
location / {
proxy_pass_request_headers on;
proxy_set_header Host www.example.com;
proxy_pass http://myCorporateProxy.org:8080;
}
}
What I want to achieve and error I get:
Redirect all incoming traffic to localhost to be redirected to API Gateway address which looks similar to https://123456.execute-api.region.amazonaws.com/v2/
When trying following config, I get a 302 temporarily Moved error.
In configuration it would look like this:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
listen 443;
underscores_in_headers on;
location / {
proxy_pass_request_headers on;
proxy_set_header Host https://www.example.com;
proxy_pass http://myCorporateProxy.org:8080;
}
}

Answer 1

You should try something like this. To redirect from http to https is a little different.
server {
listen 80;
server_name myCorporateProxy.org www.myCorporateProxy.org;
return 301 https://myCorporateProxy.org$request_uri;
}
