I have sett up reverse proxy with Nginx reverse proxy is just working fine as expected. I have another scenario where i need to redirect URL based on matching string using proxy_pass.
This is the rest call i want if URL contains massimodutti.de so it should be route to german servers using proxy_pass
currently i am blank and searching for solution any help will be highly appreciated...
You should use the nginx map feature to map query arguments into proxy_pass destinations. It works like this:
In the nginx configuration http level, you add a map like this:
map $arg_url $proxyserver {
default default.server;
"~\.de" german.server;
}
where you replace default.server with the domain name for default server and german.server with the domain name for your german server.
Then, you use proxy_pass http://$proxyserver; in your server block for the reverse proxy destination definition.
I have achieved this by adding these lines in my nginx reverse proxy configurations $args is case insensitive searching method it will search ".de" in requested URL and proxy the request.
if ( $args ~ ".de" ) { proxy_pass http://104.xx.xx.xx:80; }
if ( $args ~ ".ca" ) { proxy_pass http://104.xx.xx.xx:80; }
$arg_url instead of $args. Then nginx will match the url query argument instead of the complete argument string. The most recommended way is described in my answer.
