nginx ssl redirect

Question

I have SSL-sertificate for www. mydomain.com
How is the right config for nginx to get desired:

• SSL request without www (https://mydomain.com/somefile) will be redirected to https://www. mydomain.com/somefile

This doesn't work, broser shows SSL-warning (wrong domain) :(

server { listen 443 ssl; server_name mydomain.com; rewrite ^(.*) https://www.mydomain.com$1 permanent; ssl_certificate intermediate.crt; ssl_certificate_key www.mydomain.com.key; } 

Answer 1

Since ssl handshake and certificate check occurs before any HTTP communication there is no way to make redirect without browser's warning.
