I am trying to setup Gitea (1.2.2. also tested with a build compiled from source, 1.1.0+674-g5866eb2) behind an nginx (1.12.1) reverse proxy to enable ssl. (via proxy_pass) Everything seems to work fine besides the fact that the repository creationpage (under /repo/create) does not load most of the times (it randomly works) and eventually times out. (according to the nginx log)
I already tried setting proxy_connect_timeout, proxy_send_timeout, proxy_read_timeout and send_timeout to higher values (150, 600, 60000) but none of them do the trick. The page works without issues when directly connecting to the port and the gitea log/console looks the same as it does when using the port:

I’m a bit out of ideas on what to try next, maybe someone else had a similar problem before?
