ssl for subdirectory within nginx server configuration - ssl

Question

I have a nginx server running with ssl enabled.
Currently I have https enabled for all directories.
How enable ssl only for www.example.com/shop/* directory and disable for other??
here is my conf file :
# Redirect everything to the main site.
server {
server_name *.example.com;
listen 80;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /opt/nginx/conf/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /opt/nginx/conf/server.key;
keepalive_timeout 70;
access_log /home/example/nginx_logs/access.log ;
error_log /home/example/nginx_logs/error.log ;
root /home/example/public_html/example.com;
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
root /home/example/public_html/example.com/;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include /opt/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
#fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/example/public_html/example.com$fastcgi_script_name;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}
if ($http_host != "example.com") {
rewrite ^ http://example.com$request_uri permanent;
}
include global/restrictions.conf;
# Additional rules go here.
#Only include one of the files below.
include global/wordpress.conf;
# include global/wordpress-ms-subdir.conf;
# include global/wordpress-ms-subdomain.conf;
}

Answer 1

It is easy to achieve in Nginx. There are two steps involved in it.
Port 443 will be used only when yourdomain.com/shop is accessed. All other requests would be redirected to port 80 (HTTP)
Port 80 will check for yourdomain.com/shop. If found, it'd be redirected to port 443 (HTTPS).
Here is a quick overview of how it could be done...
server {
listen 443;
server_name yourdomain.com;
# directives for SSL certificates
# root, index, error_log, access_log directives
location /shop {
# directives to handle what's inside /shop, for example
# try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
# directives to handle PHP files
}
# leave everything else to port 80
location / {
rewrite ^ http://$host$request_uri permanent;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
# root, index, error_log, access_log directives
# redirect yourdomain.com/shop to port 443
# Please put this before location / block as
# nginx stops after seeing the first match
location /shop {
rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri permanent;
}
location / {
# directives to handle what's inside /, for example
# try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
# directives to handle PHP files
}
}
