"port_in_redirect off" not working

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

I’m running nginx/1.0.5 behing Varnish and serving up static html.
Whenever I visit a URL which is a directory but without a trailing
slash, e.g. /blah, it redirects to the non-80 port which nginx is
running on, e.g. server:5000/blah/. The config is as follows:

http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;

server {
    listen       5000;
    server_name  server.com;
    root /path/html;

    location / {
        index  index.html index.htm;
        port_in_redirect off;
   }
}

}

I’ve tried moving “port_in_redirect off” to http and server contexts,
and setting “server_name_in_redirect off”, to no avail. The Varnish
configuration is as simple as can be and just looks for the request
hostname and forwards to the nginx backend.

Regards,

Andrew

Works ok here.

Try connecting nginx directly or looking though tcpdump to see
what actually nginx returns.

I suspect it’s actually caching issue, either Varnish cached the
redirect from your previous nginx config without “port_in_redirect
off;” or your browser did.

Ah, so it appears that my browser had cached the redirect (and I feel
silly for not having checked this).

Many thanks for your help!
