Tell nginx to stay inside same location?

Server NGINX
1

Hello,

is that possible to tell nginx to stay inside the same location after
rewrite rule is done?

i.e. I have:

location /njs/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5501;
…
}

now, if i need to cut off /njs/ part, i added the following:
location /njs/ {
rewrite /njs(.*) $1;
proxy_pass http://localhost:5501;
…
}

but, that doesn’t work, because my uri has changed and nginx goes to the
default location, which I don’t need.

what could I do in this situation?

if only you have read the documentation…

http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass

…
When the URI is changed inside a proxied location using the rewrite
directive, and this same configuration will be used to process a
request (break):

location /name/ {
rewrite /name/([^/]+) /users?name=$1 break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
}

In this case, the URI specified in the directive is ignored and the
full changed request URI is passed to the server.

thank you very very much.
I’ve read the docs, but skipped the break completely, somehow.

Just add slash in upstream:

location /njs/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5501/;
…
}
