Support SSL when EC2 Instances are Accessed Directly

[kingkool68]

Part of the update process involves updating the domain names via your local hosts file so the instances can be accessed directly. This is not possible after we switched to HTTPS as the load balancer handles decrypting the SSL connection and bypassing the load balancer means that doesn't work.

Some ideas:

• Configure nginx to listen on port 443 to use a self-signed certificate. EasyEngine has a file called /etc/nginx/snippets/snakeoil.conf
• Configure something in the load balancer to forward the request properly if a different port is used in the URL: https://billypenn.com:8080. This would involve some DNS juggling as well.

Made nginx configuration changes so the sites load via SSL when accessed directly. If nginx is responding on port 443 then it will use self signed certificates which is fine for our needs.
