1076	client_max_body_size has no effect with ssl configured	kuceram@…		"When I set client_max_body_size 30m; without ssl everything works (files up to 30MB are accepted). However when I switch to ssl it completely ignores this directive.

My configuration looks like (/etx/nginx/conf.d/my-sites.com.conf):

server {
  listen 443 ssl;
  server_name my-sites.com;
  ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/my-sites.com/uni_my-sites.com.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/my-sites.com/my-sites.com.key;
  ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

  client_max_body_size 30m;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://my-backend.com;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  }
}

My configuration is:

AWS EC2 nano instance
Nginx in docker (latest stable - 1.10.1)
Only one virtual host on single IP address
