I'm not sure I understand what the advantage of wsgi would be, in any case
if somebody finds it useful here is the part of my nginx.conf with which I
run web2py with https access on a remote server; if somebody could post
instructions on running web2py through wsgi on nginx I would like to test
the difference.
server {
listen 443;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/nginx/nginx.key;
keepalive_timeout 70;
server_name my.server.name;
access_log /var/log/nginx/web2py.access.log;
location / {
set $fixed_destination $http_destination;
if ($http_destination ~* ^https(.*)$)
{
set $fixed_destination http$1;
}
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
# proxy_set_header
X-Forwarded-For$proxy_add_x_forwarder_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Destination $fixed_destination;
}
}
This works for me. Hope it helps.
