Hello Gents,

Right now, we catch all [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) requests and do a simple  
rewrite to [https://www.domain.com](https://www.domain.com). I would like to update this re-write  
to point to [https://www.domain.com/home](https://www.domain.com/home).

Here is my server section for the non-SSL (http) server:

server {  
listen 192.168.1.1:80;  
server\_name [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com);  
location / {  
add\_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;  
proxy\_set\_header Host $host;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr;  
proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For  
$proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for;  
proxy\_next\_upstream error timeout invalid\_header;  
rewrite ^ https://$server\_name$request\_uri? permanent;  
}  
}

How should I modify the rewrite statement to point to /home? My  
Google-Fu is failing me.

Hi,

How about changing this:

> rewrite ^ https://$server\_name$request\_uri? permanent;

To this:

> rewrite ^ https://$server\_name/home$request\_uri? permanent;

I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m going to need something similar for a  
project I’m working on. Let me know how it works.
