I use Nginx (port 443) which terminates TLS/SSL then forwards the request to Varnish (port 80) and on to Apache (port 8080). This worked really well for D7.
Am I correct in thinking that because of the following bug this set-up cannot work without 'Mixed Content' errors due to CSS and JS being written as absolute paths rather than relative paths?
I am looking for conformation of this question to ensure that it is not my server configuration at fault.
