I am using the free version of nginx on RHEL 6.7. The version is :
nginx-1.10.1-1.el6.ngx.x86_64
When using nginx as a load balancer I would like to know if nginx
forwards requests to backend servers using http or https??
You define what you want it sent to the backend as. So if you use
http://backendserver it’s http, if https://backendserver:443 - https.
Are you referring to the proxy pass declaration? If so I get an error
when I uncomment that line out saying “nginx: [emerg] “proxy_pass”
directive is not allowed here in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:40?”

Yes that is in proxy_pass. Are you sure proxy_pass is defined in the
server stanza and that it’s inside an include stanza?
Posting the code would be helpful if you can redact the sensitive
information.
Yes, However I did not have the entire stanza un-commented out. I have
done
that, but now I am encountered with a different error message. Now I
get:
nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream “resolveservergroup.com” in
/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:40
Here is my default.conf file:

can you move the backend server declaration from your .conf file to the
nginx.conf file inside the http stanza?
