I want to use Nginx to expose my NodeJS server listening on port 443.
I don't want to manage the SSL certificate with Nginx. I would rather do that on the NodeJS server using the SNICallback option of https.createServer.
How do I setup the nginx.conf to support this?

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS version for Specified domain in Nginx Server_name domain-name.com www.domain-name.com – it specifies the domain names. So, replace it with your website domain name that you want to redirect. Return 301 https://domain-name.com$request_uri – it moves the traffic to the HTTPS version of the site.
The following steps briefly outlines the process. 1) The client sends an HTTP CONNECT request to the proxy server. 2) The proxy server uses the host and port information in the HTTP CONNECT request to establish a TCP connection with the target server. 3) The proxy server returns an HTTP 200 response to the client.
For example, Nginx and the Apache web server are both commonly used as a reverse proxy in enterprise architectures. These two pieces of software can be configured to act as a forward proxy as well.
You're looking for ssl pass-through. You'll set up your nginx to use TCP load balancing (even if you only have one server it's still thought of as load balancing) and ssl passthrough. Note that nginx will be unable to access any of the content and that you will lose almost all of the advantages of using a proxy other than the ability to do load balancing. See these instructions for a specific configuration example.
