What exactly happens, what goes wrong? Note that in general there are no problems with proxying in nginx: it will happily get a request from the client and pass it the backend server, and will return the response from the backend server to the client. But proxying, especially if you are trying to proxy with changed URI, might result in incorrect resulting page if your backend server uses absolute links in responses. Or your backend server might not like the request coming from nginx and will try to redirect the client. Most common issue which happens when proxying is wrong URLs in redirections returned by the backend server. This is something nginx is usually able to fix itself with the default settings of the proxy_redirect directive. In complex cases some adjustment might be needed though (see http://nginx.org/r/proxy_redirect for details). Another common issue is wrong links in the HTML pages returned. In some cases these can be fixed with sub_filter (http://nginx.org/r/sub_filter), but usually a better idea is to configure your backend server to return correct links instead. -- Maxim Dounin http://mdounin.ru/ _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
