Proxy_pass to different upstreams based on a cookie in the http request header

Server NGINX

Hello,
Am wondering if there is a way to proxy (i.e proxy_pass inside location
directive) to different set of upstreams based on whether a particular
cookie is present or not in a http request header.

Thanks

You can use a map (Module ngx_http_map_module)
to set a variable based on a cookie
(Module ngx_http_core_module),
and you can use a variable in your proxy_pass directive
(Module ngx_http_proxy_module).

So it looks like it should Just Work.
