Redirect http to https.

[ericrini]

Is it possible to add a vhost that expresses this idea using this module?

server {
       listen         80;
       server_name    my.domain.com;
       return         301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

I think there's a rewrite_to_https option

Yup - if you use rewrite_to_https as such:

  nginx::resource::ghost{'my.domain.com':
    www_root => '/opt/html/',
    rewrite_to_https => true,
   ssl_cert => '...'
  << INSERT VALID SSL SETTINGS >>

  }

(Whatever your root might be) you end up with the following block (or the starts of server blocks):

server {
  listen *:80;
  server_name           my.domain.com;

  if ($ssl_protocol = "") {
       return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
  }
  index  index.html index.htm index.php;

and a second server block:

server {
  listen       *:443 ssl;
  server_name  myhost.com;

  ssl on;

... the module uses the "if ssl protocol" block rather than the direct return.
