Thanks, Jonathan for the tip. I think we need to create another virtual server in order to redirect HTTP to HTTPS:

http {

 # redirect all traffic to HTTPS
 server {
   listen 80;
   server_name 127.0.0.1/www.example.com;

   return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
 }

 server {
   # all your configuration code  goes here..
 }
}

I'm assuming you meant! great to hear ssltest, this is something I didn't know, will use it definitely in the future, and the credits will go to you. hope to have good rest of your life!
