Почему мой Nginx-Socket.io-Express-Setup не работает через HTTPS?

Локально он работает отлично, но как только я помещаю его за обратный прокси-сервер Nginx, я получаю это в консоли разработчика Chrome:

GET https://127.0.0.1:8443/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=MoHVP61 net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Конфигурация Nginx:

upstream io_nodes {
  ip_hash;
  server 127.0.0.1:8443;
}

map $sent_http_content_type $expires {
    default                    off;
    text/html                  epoch;
    text/css                   max;
    application/javascript     max;
    ~image/                    max;
}

server {
    listen       80;
    listen       [::]:80;
    listen       443 ssl http2;
    listen       [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name  xxxxxxxxxx;
    expires      $expires;

Бэкэнд Socket.io:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const server = require('http').Server(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(server);

server.listen(process.env.PORT, () => console.log(`Express running → PORT ${server.address().port}`));

io.on('connection', () => console.log(`Socket.io running → PORT ${server.address().port}`));

Клиент Socket.io:

let socket = io.connect(`127.0.0.1:8443`);
