[mapserver-users] mapcache behind nginx with ssl

[Trygve Aspenes]

Hi there

I have put up a mapserver behind nginx with ssl and a curl like this

curl -s 
"https://mapserver/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/mapserver/map-files/mapserver-8505ad3e-f9e3-4de3-a080-8253443ac954-20210908T120432Z.map&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities" 
| grep OnlineResource

Gives me like:

  <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:href="https://mapserver/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/mapserver/map-files/mapserver-8505ad3e-f9e3-4de3-a080-8253443ac954-20210908T120432Z.map&"/>
           <Get><OnlineResource 
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:href="https://mapserver/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/mapserver/map-files/mapserver-8505ad3e-f9e3-4de3-a080-8253443ac954-20210908T120432Z.map&"/></Get>

Yeah you get the idea. Everything perfect with https in the href link. 
Thanks!

So I put up a mapcache which I intend to put up i front of mapserver. 
When I do a similar curl like:

curl -s 
"https://mapcache/mapcache?Overview&map=/data/mapserver/map-files/mapserver-8505ad3e-f9e3-4de3-a080-8253443ac954-20210908T120432Z.map&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities" 
| xmllint --format - | grep OnlineResource

I get:

     <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:href="http://mapcache:8090/mapcache?"/>
               <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:href="http://mapcache:8090/mapcache?"/>
               <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:href="http://mapcache:8090/mapcache?"/>
               <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:href="http://mapcache:8090/mapcache?"/>

I here starts the problems. If I do this in eg QGIS, QGIS are told to go 
to the http address with port 8090(mapcache is setup to run on port 8090 
behind the scenes) which is not reachable. It should return https (with 
no specified port, ie. using standard https port) if I understands 
correctly.

And I just cant figure put why.

The configuration for the two are almost identical and I have double and 
tripple check my config.

Any idea what I should check next?

If it could be of any help I could open access to my mapcache server 
running.

Thanks

PS: when I test mapcache and mapserver setup locally without ssl and 
nginx in front it works fine.
