Nginx page speed writes to http instead of relative urls serving behind load balancer

Question

I have a problem with Google's 'nginx page speed' plugin which writes the urls to http://example.com. I am using Elastic Load Balancer to map https to http on AWS.

I am finding the modified urls as http://example.com/sample.XXXXXXX.css. This works fine on http end points, but when I have https end point, the css is not working because of security/cross domain from http to https change.

Is there a way to make the page speed module to use relative urls instead of absolute ones ?
