Accessing non-SSL APIs from SSL web site

I need to access non-SSL APIs running on the same host as my nginx webserver from my SSL website. This is currently being done via proxy connections by including location blocks such as below in the conf file for my site

server {
    listen      443 ssl;
    server_name localhost;
    root        /websites/MineETN.today/html;
    index       index.html;

    ssl         on;
    ssl_certificate /home/dwayne/certs/mineetn_today.chained.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /home/dwayne/certs/mineetn_today.key;

    location /json_rpc {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:26968/json_rpc;
    }

    location ~ ^/api/(.*) {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8117/$1$is_args$args;
    }
}

This works fine when Cloudflare is paused, but breaks when Cloudflare is enabled.
