Hi all,
I’m trying to create a reverse proxy to serve a moodle site hosted in
the LAN of my company. The site is available from the Internet but all
links to static content in the HTTP responses are using the internal
address. This is an issue with moodle, not with nginx.
Because I don’t want to loose too much time on this, I’m trying to play
with both sub and subs modules to rewrite all occurences of “internal
address” to “external address” but without success.
I’m wondering if HTTP substition is intented to work in a reverse proxy
context.
Thanks for your help,
Antoine Nguyen.

I’ve just found what was the problem before reading your answer : the
backend had “mod_deflate” enabled by default. It works well now.
By the way, many thanks for your answer Maxim, it was exactly what I
needed

Yes.
Please note though that response must not be compressed by
backend, i.e. you may want to add something like
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
to nginx config.
You may also need to set sub_filter_types[1] as appropriate in your
setup, by default it will only work on text/html.
