Hi Max,
Sorry for not being able to answer your actual question, I still want to
draw your attention to the need for further nginx location needs (i.e.
_changes): Here's an example of a working configuration when listening at
the root / and using ssl.
location ~ ^/(.*)/_changes {
proxy_pass http://couchdb_node;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://couchdb_node;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
}
