I have an Nginx reverse-proxy sitting in front of two JBoss servers. If I attempt to add the second JBoss server to the upstream directive, I receive an Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS) from Chrome, IE just displays an "Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage" error. If I comment the second upstream server out a kill -HUP the master process, everything works properly.

I am attempting to use Nginx to rewrite all HTTP requests to HTTPS and upon first contact with our domain, the JBoss application redirects you to https://my.domain.com/home.

Here is my default config file:

upstream jboss_dev_servers { server 10.0.3.15:8080; server 10.0.3.16:8080; }

server { listen 10.0.3.28:80; server_name my.domain.com; location / { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header; rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent; proxy_pass http://jboss_dev_servers; } }

server { listen 10.0.3.28:443 default ssl; ssl on; ssl_certificate /srv/ssl/combined.crt; ssl_certificate_key /srv/ssl/combined.key; ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1;

server_name my.domain.com;

location / { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header; proxy_pass http://jboss_dev_servers; } }

Any ideas what could be causing this? Is it bouncing the requests back and forth between the two upstream servers somehow?
