How to preserve request url with nginx proxy pass

Question

I was trying to use Thin app server and had one issue   When nginx proxies the request to Thin  or Unicorn  using proxy pass http   my app upstream  the application receives the modified URL sent by nginx  http   my app upstream     What I want is to pass the original URL and the original request from client with no modification as the app relies heavily on it   The nginx  doc says      If it is necessary to transmit URI in   the unprocessed form then directive   proxy pass should be used without URI   part    But I don t understand how exactly to configure that as the related sample is actually using URI   location   some path      proxy pass   http   127 0 0 1      So could you please help me figuring out how to preserve the original request URL from the client

In my scenario i have make this via below code in nginx vhost configuration

server {
server_name dashboards.etilize.com;

location / {
    proxy_pass http://demo.etilize.com/dashboards/;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
}}

$http_host will set URL in Header same as requested

In case something modifies the location that you re trying to serve  e g  try files  this preserves the request for the back-end   location       proxy pass http   127 0 0 1 8080 request uri

Note to other people finding this  The heart of the solution to make   nginx not manipulate the URL  is to remove the slash at the end of the   Copy  proxy pass directive  http   my app upstream vs    http   my app upstream      Hugo Josefson   I found this above in the comments but I think it really should be an answer

Just  proxy set header Host  host  miss port for my case  Solved by         location          proxy pass http   BACKENDIP        include  etc nginx proxy conf           and then in the proxy conf        proxy redirect off      proxy set header Host  host  server port      proxy set header X-Real-IP  remote addr      proxy set header X-Forwarded-For  proxy add x forwarded for

I think the proxy set header directive could help   location         proxy pass http   my app upstream      proxy set header Host  host

User · Answer

nginx also provides the  http host variable which will pass the port for you  its a concatenation of host and port   So u just need to do   proxy set header Host  http host
