Nginx redirect http to https for Alfresco share

Question

I have alfresco 5.2 community edition installed on ubuntu machine with nginx as proxy. updated the SSL recently for my new domain. It is working fine and site is accessible through https://new.domain.com/share/

I want to redirect all http traffic to https://new.domain.com/share/ . Tried changing the server config block but getting an error too many redirects .

currently new.domain.com is redirecting to https://new.domain.com/ and need to change it from new.domain.com to https://new.domain.com/share/

Redirection code:

server {
    if ($host = new.domain.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name         new.domain.com;
    return 404;

}
