nginx staging rewrite http to https with port number

Question

I'm getting a 400 bad request.

This is the config code. file: staging.rewrites

if ($scheme = http) {
   return 301 https://$host:[port]$request_uri;
}

Does anyone know if this is a valid rewrite?

I don't know where is your config file, although, I'd rather use the following lines in your 80 port to rewrite requests to port 443:

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name YOURSERVER_DOMAIN;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.http.log detailed;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error.http.log notice;

    location / {
        rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri? permanent;
    }
}

Regards

This is the correct answer. I had to use the http port 80. I was using the https port. like this www.hostname.com:443/request_uri. – Mohamed El Kawakibi Feb 22 '18 at 08:37

This is the preferred way to do http -> https redirect in nginx:

server {
    server_name example.com;

    return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
