        location /static/ {
        root /home/ubuntu/winnipeg_prod/app/staticfiles;
    }

        location / {

                include proxy_params;
                proxy_pass http://unix:/home/ubuntu/winnipeg_prod/app/app.sock;

Forbidden (403)
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

Help
Reason given for failure:

    Origin checking failed - https://winni-furnace.ca does not match any trusted origins.
    
In general, this can occur when there is a genuine Cross Site Request Forgery, or when Django’s CSRF mechanism has not been used correctly. For POST forms, you need to ensure:

Your browser is accepting cookies.
The view function passes a request to the template’s render method.
In the template, there is a {% csrf_token %} template tag inside each POST form that targets an internal URL.
If you are not using CsrfViewMiddleware, then you must use csrf_protect on any views that use the csrf_token template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.
The form has a valid CSRF token. After logging in in another browser tab or hitting the back button after a login, you may need to reload the page with the form, because the token is rotated after a login.
You’re seeing the help section of this page because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and only the initial error message will be displayed.

You can customize this page using the CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW setting.

    You need to include CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS in your settings.py

    CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS = [
    'https://domaim.com'
]

    Everything works fine but in production on every submit on forms i get this 403 Error

    The reason you get this error is because you are requesting your website with https but you have not defined the 443 port on nginx. Here is a post to do this using AWS.

    Here is a simple example:

    server {
     server_name  winni-furnace.ca www.winni-furnace.ca;
     location /static/ {
     root /home/ubuntu/winnipeg_prod/app/staticfiles;
     return 301 https://winni-furnace.ca$request_uri;
}

server {
    server_name winni-furnace.ca www.winni-furnace.ca;

    listen 443;

    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /path/of/winni_cert_chain.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/of/winni.key;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; 
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    }
}

    Notice I have added this line return 301 https://winni-furnace.ca$request_uri; which will redirect all http request to https automatically.
