Issue solved - The issue WAS NOT NGINX. The issue was a former developer trying to be helpful that ended up kicking our ass in the long run. They created a redirect in their code that if someone tried to use the HTTP protocol it would automatically redirect to HTTPS, once we commented this pesky couple lines of code out and rebuilt the container, surprise, surprise... NGINX did as it was told. Lesson learned: Get NGINX to do your redirecting; not your code.
