listen 80;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {

listen 443;
server_name app.mydomain.com;

ssl_certificate           /root/apps/app.mydomain.com/localhost.crt;
ssl_certificate_key       /root/apps/app.mydomain.com/localhost.key;

ssl on;
ssl_session_cache  builtin:1000  shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_protocols  TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

access_log            /var/log/nginx/app.access.log;

location / {

  proxy_set_header        Host $host;
  proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

  # Fix the “It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken" error.
  proxy_pass          https://localhost:8080;
  proxy_read_timeout  90;

  proxy_redirect      https://localhost:8080 https://app.mydomain.com;
}
}

Answer 1

This:

listen 443;

Should be this:

listen 443 ssl;

Why do you want to proxy traffic to 127.0.0.1 via https? Seems unnecessary

Answer 2

Try this configuration, Hope it works. All the headers are not required it's based on your applications need and how you are serving the requests fro your application.

server {
listen 80;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
listen 443;
server_name app.mydomain.com;

ssl on;
ssl_certificate_key       /root/apps/app.mydomain.com/localhost.key;
ssl_certificate           /root/apps/app.mydomain.com/localhost.crt;
ssl_session_cache  builtin:1000  shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_protocols  TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

access_log            /var/log/nginx/app.access.log;

location / {
    proxy_set_header        Host $host;
    proxy_pass          http://localhost:8080/;
    proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

    proxy_read_timeout  90;
    proxy_buffer_size   128k;
    proxy_buffers   4 256k; 
    proxy_busy_buffers_size 256k;
    proxy_temp_file_write_size 256k;
    proxy_connect_timeout 300s;
}
}
