Rewrite *.*.com Host to *.com

Server NGINX
1

Hi

I’m using nginx is a proxy for a long polling application.
Old browsers have low limits on number of concurrent http requests so
I’m
using arbitrary subdomains for each vhost.

Is it possible to set the Host header to be vhost.example.com when the
url
is something.vhost1.example.com
without knowing from advanced what ‘something’ and ‘vhost1’ are?

I’m currently able to set Host to *.com but I want to strip the first
part.

server {
listen 80;
server_name *.com;

location /test {
proxy_set_header  Host $Host;
proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
proxy_pass        http://localhost:8000;
}

}

Thanks

Hi Pablo

Just some quick thoughts which might work (aka haven’t tried)

  1. Use 2 server Directives

server {
listen 80;
server_name ..com;

location / {
rewrite ^(.*)$ http://yourcomdomain.com permanent;
}
}

server {
listen 80;
server_name *.com;

location /test {
proxy_set_header Host $Host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
}
}

  1. If Regexp are usable in server_name (are they?)

server {
…
server_name $*.com;
…
}
