I'm having an issue with some sites where the redirect chain looks like this:

http://example.com > https://example.com > https://www.example.com

The sites exist at the final URL, but has backlinks from other sites to the first URL. As such I would like to eliminate the middle URL to gain a little bit more of that sweet sweet Google juice.

Currently, our nginx conf document is set up thusly:

server {

  listen 1.1.1.1:443 ssl http2;

  listen 1.1.1.1:80;

  server_name www.example.com *.www.example.com;

  set $WP_ROOT /var/www/vhosts/www.example.com/htdocs;

  root $WP_ROOT;



  if ($scheme = http) {

    return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;

  }



  access_log /var/log/nginx/www.example.com-access.log main buffer=32k;# flush=300;

  error_log /var/log/nginx/www.example.com-error.log;

  ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/domain.crt;

  ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/domain.rsa;

  ssl_protocols TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

  ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256';

  ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;



  gzip on;

  gzip_types text/css text/x-component application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript text/x-js text/richtext image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/bmp application/java application/msword application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-msdownload image/x-icon image/webp application/json application/vnd.ms-access application/vnd.ms-project application/x-font-otf application/vnd.ms-opentype application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.database application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.chart application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.formula application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text audio/ogg application/pdf application/vnd.ms-powerpoint application/x-shockwave-flash image/tiff application/x-font-ttf audio/wav application/vnd.ms-write application/font-woff application/font-woff2 application/vnd.ms-excel;



  location / {

    limit_req zone=limit burst=20;

    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/www.example.com.redirects; 

  }

}

There's more but the rest is irrelevant.

My basic question is, how can I reconfigure the config to read the redirects document and redirect directly to those URLs BEFORE the force HTTPS statement, so that I only get one redirect instead of two?
