Research direction

Start by reproducing the WebId-TLS login through Nginx and reviewing the reverse-proxy configuration from wiki solution 4 alongside Solid's config.json. Determine whether the certificate reaches the Solid Server and identify why Nginx returns a 504; done means certificate login works successfully through the proxy.

Description

I built a WebId(https://eureka.name/profile/card#me ) using the Solid Server and Nginx as reverse proxy(ref solution 4:https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/wiki/Running-Solid-behind-a-reverse-proxy), but if I Log in with Certificate(WebId-TLS), I always get a response of "504 Gateway Time-out" from Nginx. I guess the SSL certificate cannot reach the Solid Server or something else wrong, how to set Nginx, or should I modify some settings in config.json to run solid server, or solid server just have this issue?
