Nginx reverse proxy application links

Shared Contact

I have 2 JIRA 6.3.15 instances each behind a Nginx reverse proxy + SSL.

When I try to create application links between them, JIRA reports no response.

"No response was received from the URL you entered - it may not be valid. Please fix the URL below, if needed, and click Continue."

Nginx access logs shows this line.

10.10.23.162 - - [21/May/2015:14:19:17 -0400] "\x15\x03\x03\x00\x02\x02(" 400 172 "-" "-"

JIRA's catalina.out has no output. Which suggests that the request wasn't forwarded.

Has anyone got this working?

I needed to add the self signed certificates into the JVM for the link to work.
