Accessing site on nginx by https by default - http

Question

I have website on nginx server! I want to make accessing the site by https by default(on specified port, I wrote in below)! I mean, when I write in browser - mysite.net:90, or www.mysite.net:90, it will go on https, instead of http! I've already tried to redirect requests with "rewrite" in server block, and "return", but it doesn't work.
This is how my server block looks now:
server {
listen 90;
listen 9090 ssl;
server_name example.com;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;
root /var/www/path;
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
fastcgi_param HTTP_SCHEME https;
......
}

Basically you need to create a redirection from your HTTP instance where all requests are automatically redirected to HTTPS.
Like this:
server {
listen 90;
server_name example.com;
# Redirect all requests to https
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 9090 ssl;
server_name example.com;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;
root /var/www/path;
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
fastcgi_param HTTP_SCHEME https;
}
Try that and see if that works for you.
But basically you for the first instance, you are simply creating a redirection and all the real configuration will be on the second one.
