Nginx as a proxy...
I have a small problem using nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Tomcat 8.. The problem is that sometimes the context url is set to the local ip address of the tomcat server instead of the hostname used to access the nginx server. And I know this can be solved by using proxyname and proxypost but as far as I can see, this can only be configured for the connector port, which make the setting global? Add I run 5 other web applications in the same Tomcat instance so changing this globally is not an option... Anyway to solve this?
