I try to add http Basic Auth on an instance of ec2 using Elastic Beanstalk. I follow this guide "http://sarahcassady.com/2016/09/18/deploy-aws-eb-app-with-auth-and-ssl/" but when i upload this is not working.

I tried to change the proxy_pass of the example for i use http://nodejs but still not working.

The worst is that i need to upload my code to make a deploy and wait all that time... You know something to improve that?

Thanks for your help

EDIT: Add the code that i used

# .ebextensions/01-http_basic_auth_staging.config

files:
  /etc/nginx/.htpasswd:
    mode: "000755"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      username:$apr1$k5WkOMBL$0FZNIWOLQMsHJAOREjemC/

          proxy_pass        http://nodejs; 
          proxy_set_header  Host $host;
          proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
      }
