Hi All, I have run nginx on OpenBSD for several years without problems. Recently I upgraded to a new OpenBSD and with that to a new nginx. I went from nginx 0.7.64 to 0.8.53p5 nginx still works but I ran into a problem: nginx listens on localhost:10080. I use firewall rules to get my traffic there. For some reason 0.8.53 sometimes adds the portnumber to an URL resulting in error messages. I found a work around but that is not an acceptable final solution as it is very difficult to update everything and the problem will likely re-appear in the future. The details: nginx.conf: … server { listen localhost:10080; server\_name [www.example.com:80](http://www.example.com:80); location ^~ /pfstat { root /var/mine/data; index index.html index.htm index.php; autoindex on; } … } … If a html file on the server contains I get a message that the connection to nginx was denied and the URL displayed in the browser is changed into something like [www.example.com:10080/pfstat](http://www.example.com:10080/pfstat) (the port on which nginx listens is added). If the html file on the server contains (additional ‘/’ at the end) everything works OK (the 10080 is NOT added to the URL). This problem only exists when referring to a directory, references to a file work normally (). Can anybody shed some light on this. Has anything been changed in this area? Regards, Paul Ps: It is not an option to update all html files to include a trailing ‘/’ in case of references to a folder. This is not only a lot of work it probably also involves modifying other peoples pages.

This is meaningless (it will never match), but resulting redirects in 0.7.64 should look like ``` Location: http://www.example.com:80:10080/pfstat/ ``` Since 0.8.48 directive “server\_name\_in\_redirect” defaults to off, and hostname from client’s request will be used instead, without any “:80”. As a result will no longer have “:80” in them, likely breaking things for you. Correct aproach in both versions is to use ``` port_in_redirect off; ``` as shown above in short answer. Maxim D. ---
