Hi,

I figured it out by adding debugging statements to wwsympa.fcgi and tracing 
it... the problem is that nginx doesn't provide the full $ENV variables that 
apache does by default -- you have to enable the ones you need.  In case 
anyone else has this problem with nginx, here's what I needed to put in 
sympa.conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d:

The sympa.conf supplied in the sympa-nginx-6.1.19-1.20140206.RHEL6.x86_64 
(from the sympa.ja.org repo) has this stanza:

    location / {
        fastcgi_pass    unix:/var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket;
        fastcgi_param   QUERY_STRING    $query_string;
        fastcgi_param   REQUEST_METHOD  $request_method;
        fastcgi_param   CONTENT_TYPE    $content_type;
        fastcgi_param   CONTENT_LENGTH  $content_length;
        fastcgi_param   PATH_INFO       $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param   REQUEST_URI     $request_uri;
        fastcgi_param   REMOTE_ADDR     $remote_addr;
        fastcgi_param   SERVER_NAME     $server_name;
# I needed to add these two lines:
        fastcgi_param   HTTPS           'on';
        fastcgi_param   SERVER_PORT     '443';
    }

That took care of the problem.  

Thanks for your help,

Aaron
