HI guys. I am trying to make something to work in nginx but I have no
luck.
I posted in StackOverflow, and no answer.
I wish any of you can help me. I paste the SO question here as well:
I am using nginx and I need a proxy to redirect some service. From my
application, I should be able to do a POST, for example, to this URL:
http://localhost:8776/specialService/aserverthatlistens.com/serviceToCall.
And I need to rewrite it like this:
https://aserverthatlistens.com/serviceToCall (notice that this URL is
HTTPS,
not HTTP).
I know I can use rewrite but I don’t know how to use proxy_pass also,
because the url of the proxy_pass should be what I rewrote…
Notice that I cannot know in advance what is the final url
(aserverthatlistens.com in this example), so I always need to get it
form
the URL. I could send it as parameter if that help instead of being part
of
the URL.
So far my server configuration looks like this:
server
{
listen 8776;
server_name localhost;
access_log /var/log/nginx/tunnel.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;
location ~ ^/someService(/.*)$ {
proxy_pass https://$1;
}
}
