There are some circumstances under which you can kind-of sort-of make it work maybe well enough sometimes; but you would be fighting the application and things will probably not be smooth. So, for http-proxy traffic, you are probably better off using nginx's "stream" feature instead of "http" feature, and just let nginx be a tcp-pass-through. http://nginx.org/r/stream and things like http://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_proxy_module.html and http://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_upstream_module.html -- it's conceptually similar to the http things that you already know, except there is nothing http-specific about it. > I've made some advances and I'm able to open an HTTP page. > > Now, I need the client to open an HTTPS request. If the client is configured to use a http proxy for a https request, it will probably issue a CONNECT request to the proxy, expecting that the proxy will open a connection to the external https server. If nginx is a tcp-pass-through, all of that will be done on your upstream McAfee servers, the way that you expect.
