Handling Https proxy request nginx

I am trying to setup a proxy server which will handle both http and https requests. The server will also cache the response for future usage.

I am able to successfully implement the proxy with http request but I am not able to configure the https.

For all the https request that I make after setting up the proxy in my browser I receive a 400 against all the requests

Here is the successful implementation of http requests

server {
listen 8080;
server_name localhost;
allow {some private IP for Testing};
deny all;
location / {
resolver 8.8.8.8;
proxy_cache browser;
proxy_pass http://$http_host$uri$is_args$args;
proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;
proxy_cache_revalidate on;
proxy_cache_lock on;
add_header X-Cache-Status $upstream_cache_status;
#proxy_set_header Host $host;
#proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
#proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}

This is what I get in the access logs - Bing and youtube are from browser.

"CONNECT log.olark.com:443 HTTP/1.1" 400 325 "-" "-" "-"
"CONNECT nrpc.olark.com:443 HTTP/1.1" 400 325 "-" "-" "-"
"CONNECT www.bing.com:443 HTTP/1.0" 400 325 "-" "-" "-"
"CONNECT www.youtube.com:443 HTTP/1.0" 400 325 "-" "-" "-"
"CONNECT nrpc.olark.com:443 HTTP/1.1" 400 325 "-" "-" "-"
"CONNECT plus.google.com:443 HTTP/1.1" 400 325 "-" "-" "-"

Here is the https section of the nginx.conf file

proxy_redirect off;
}
}

I have tried the upstream key as well by adding <a href="http://upstreamname" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://upstreamname</a> in the proxy_pass key inside location key

upstream https_prox{
server 127.0.0.1;
}
server {
...
location / {
...
proxy_pass http://https_prox
...
}
}
