How to configure nginx to work with Jetty6 webserver?

Right. I guess I qualify as a self learner, don't I.

Just add these lines within the http { } scope of the nginx.conf file:

server {
        listen          80;
        server_name     mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;
        access_log      /var/log/nginx_67_log main;
        location / {
                proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:8080;
                proxy_redirect  off;
                proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
                proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
}

I have to try now gzip, SSL and dojo cometd and see if I can upgrade to nginx. Any clues are welcome.
