In my local machine browser, I want to open [http://localhost/abc](http://localhost/abc) to  
proxy a real [http://www.abc.com/](http://www.abc.com/) as well as proxying all child resources  
such as

[http://localhost/abc/bcd/a.html](http://localhost/abc/bcd/a.html) to proxy [http://www.abc.com/bcd/a.html](http://www.abc.com/bcd/a.html)  
[http://localhost/abc/bc.html](http://localhost/abc/bc.html) to proxy [http://www.abc.com/bc.html](http://www.abc.com/bc.html)  
…

How do I perform it?

proxy\_pass ([Module ngx\_http\_proxy\_module](http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass)).

You should reverse-proxy to a server that you control.

Making things work where the url hierarchies differ – /abc/ in nginx  
being the same as / in the upstream server – can be difficult. But  
sometimes it works.

# == location ^~ /abc/ { proxy\_pass [http://www.abc.com/](http://www.abc.com/); }

and then try accessing [http://localhost/abc/bc.html](http://localhost/abc/bc.html) and see what you  
get back.
