That might indeed by an issue.
That is why you want to use HTTPS off loader at the edge of your
cluster, they will handle unencryption and then server that as
unencrypted traffic again :-]
I believe that is what the WMF is doing by using nginx as an HTTPS
proxy. Someone with better knowledge will confirm.
