I love everything about this post, and the (short) discussion here. I worked out some complex PHP user-agent detection on my websites to serve HTTPS to newer machines, and HTTP to older ones. I instinctively knew Apache2/nginx should be able to do it, but all the documentation online is about redirecting everyone to HTTPS. I passionately believe older machines still have a place on the Internet, but everyone's in a hurry to donate all their data to big companies on the latest iPhone, so they don't care about that. I also run an upstream SSL-bump proxy for my own older devices, and a small community of others, allowing us to browse the modern web (or at least, those sites that will still render on older browsers). The LE service is so important for certain applications and users, but I'm saddened that the push for HTTPS seemed to require the death of HTTP. I appreciate the OP sharing his nginx config, and the few of you who replied with additional thoughts.
