Does nginx reload break existing HTTPS connections?

I want to recreate a certificate and to update nginx via reloading of the configuration using nginx -s reload.

Not clear if it will break existing HTTPS connections

According to the document http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html

the master process starts new worker processes and sends messages to old worker processes, requesting them to shut down

From same documentation (almost next sentence):

Old worker processes, receiving a command to shut down, stop accepting new connections and continue to service current requests until all such requests are serviced. After that, the old worker processes exit.

So answer is no - nginx -s reload will not break already started request processing.
