Answer 1

The most nice way that I found looks like:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name example.com www.example.com;
        return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen       443 ssl;
    server_name  examle.com www.example.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/conf.d/[crt];
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/conf.d/[key];
    ... 
}

In this way you can use $server_name instead of hardcoded values.

Answer 2

So, I do this the reverse way. I literally had this issue the other day. One thing is the order was found to be important, and I really should have changed the "rewrite" rules to "return 301 ..." but I got lazy and didn't do that yet as I was in a bit of a hurry.

Here is a snippet of my config

#
# Rewrite any http requests for domain.com to https.
#
server {
   listen       80;
   server_name domain.com;
   return 301 https://domain.com$request_uri;
}
#
# Rewrite any http requests for www.domain.com to domain.com
# using SSL
#
server {
   listen 80;
   server_name www.domain.com;
   rewrite ^/(.*) https://domain.com/$1 permanent;
}

#
# The domain.com website
#
server {
   listen       443 ssl;
    server_name  domain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/conf.d/[crt];
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/conf.d/[key];
    ... Bunches of more stuff goes here. 
}

#
# Rewrite any https requests for www.domain.com to domain.com
# Note that this must be after the domain.com declaration.
#
server {
   listen 443;
   server_name www.domain.com;
   rewrite ^/(.*) https://domain.com/$1 permanent;
}
