Hello , on a linux box I define to move the traffic through some Centralize proxy server ( Organization one ) in order to configure the proxy from the command line I ran : export HTTP\_PROXY=“http://\:” On the same box I have nginx which serve as a reverse proxy and all the local application sending the traffic through the local reverse proxy how can I force the nginx to fwd all the traffic through the ORG proxy server ? chart … ``` Linux Box Proxy ``` server | Internet | |--------------------------------------------| =\> |---------------------------| =\> \ -\> \< nginx \> Organization Proxy | | Thanks ! ---

Try incorporating haproxy ([http://www.haproxy.org/](http://www.haproxy.org/)) or Apache Traffic Server ([http://trafficserver.apache.org/](http://trafficserver.apache.org/)) into your setup. I use NGINX to terminate SSL/SPDY then haproxy to direct the request to the appropriate backend server pool - Haproxy is very good at being a reverse proxy but has no forward proxy features. ATS can terminate SSL/SPDY/HTTP2 and function very well as a forward or reverse proxy, but lacks the pooling, manipulation, and routing facilities that haproxy and nginx provide. ---

Thanks for the recommendation , I am using nginx as a reverse proxy on each one of my application server . the reason I am doing it is , my application server connect to a backend system which can be available on 2 domains , the nginx as a reverse proxy on my application system verify that if one domain is down it automatically use the 2nd one which might be available . The problem I am having is once the application server need to connect to the backend through a proxy server , the nginx dont know how to move the traffic through a proxy which require authentication and configuration . I start check how complex will it be to update the nginx source code , Can anyone from the nginx team estimate how complex it will be if possible @ all ?
