Description

Whenever I try to specify ciphers the way I would normally do using nginx vanilla, the proxy host goes to offline status.

So does

ssl_ciphers 'insert cipher list here';

and

ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

not work?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the proxy-host offline status when applying the nginx directives ssl_ciphers and ssl_prefer_server_ciphers. Check the generated proxy-host configuration and nginx error output to determine whether these directives are accepted; done means the cipher settings work without taking the proxy host offline.
