Hey, I wanna add a custom arg to the upstreams by proxy\_pass like this:

upstream servers {  
server1:8011;  
server2:8012;  
}

…  
server {  
listen on 8443;  
ssl on;  
server\_name server0;  
location / {  
proxy\_pass [https://servers](https://servers);  
}  
}

My expectation: type “[https://server0:8443](https://server0:8443)” and the upstream will get  
“[https://server1:8011?abc=1](https://server1:8011?abc=1)”

So how can I make this? Thanks.

Is direct pass OK, like this?

proxy\_pass [https://servers?abc=1](https://servers?abc=1)
