How to enabled secure connection over https between AWS Load Balancer and EC2 nodes?

It been settled up in AWS a load balancer with 2 listeners as follow:

• HTTP:80 - fowarding to a Target Group (2 EC2 instances)
• HTTPS:443 - ELBSecurityPolicy forwarding to the same Target Group (2 EC2 instances)

The the EC2 instances are running tomcat 7 for a servlet application.

The problem is that when I hit the load balancer with a https request it redirect to one of the the two EC2 instances with a plain http request, then it redirect back to https.

I can see the redirects with a chrome extension, and they look looks like:

• https://load-balancer/home -> click to another page
• http://load-balancer/anotherpage
• https://load-balancer/anotherpage

In this way, the referrer won't work, it is null, because of the plain http internal request. Is this something can be avoided within AWS configuration ?

I tried within the servlet app with no joy, but I think must be something can be done in AWS.

How can be avoided internals http AWS redirects to EC2 nodes?

I also tried within the servlet application in web.xml:

<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>secured page</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <user-data-constraint>
        <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
    </user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>

But it won't work as it going to look at port 8443 by default, but the server is listening on 8080.
