I have a rails app running on puma & nginx using AWS elastic beanstalk load balancer. I configured AWS certificate and it works fine on both http and https.
However, if I enable config.force_ssl = true on the config/environments/production.rb I start getting the following errors:
On http: The connection was reset
On https: Secure Connection Failed. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
Here's the content of my nginx configuration file, which I got from awslabs/elastic-beanstalk-samples here:
.ebextensions/nginx.config
files:
"/opt/elasticbeanstalk/support/conf/webapp_healthd.conf":
owner: root
