ttkdroid opened a new issue #2035: Fauxton not working properly under NGINX 
reverse proxy
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2035
 
 
   ## Description
   
   The reverse proxy instructions with NGINX works for ordinary database 
operations however Fauxton doesn't work properly as some of the urls doesn't 
follow the rewrite directives of the webserver, showing an error message 
`"JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data"`
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce
   1. Add the reverse proxy entry to nginx.conf:
   ```
   location /cdb {
       rewrite /cdb(.*) $1 break;
       proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5984;
       proxy_redirect off;
       proxy_buffering off;
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
   }
   ```
   2. Try to reach Fauxton interface:
   https://www.myserver.com/couchdb/_utils
   
   ## Expected Behaviour
   
   Fauxton working properly as if it was reached directly
