I have a location block as
location @test{
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/1;
}
but nginx complains that "proxy_pass cannot have URI part in location given by regular expression..." Does anyone know what might be wrong?
I'm trying to query localhost:5000/1 when an upload is complete:
location /upload_attachment {
upload_pass @test;
upload_store /tmp;
...
}
Technically just adding the URI should work, because it's documented here and it says that it should work, so
location @test{
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/1/; # with a trailing slash
}
Should have worked fine, but since you said it didn't I suggested the other way around, the trick is that instead of passing /my/uri to localhost:5000/1, we pass /1/my/uri to localhost:5000,
That's what my rewrite did
rewrite ^ /1$1
Meaning rewrite the whole URL, prepend it with /1 then add the remaining, the whole block becomes
location @test{
rewrite ^ /1$1;
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
}
Note: @Fleshgrinder provided an answer explaining why the first method didn't work.
rewrite ^ /search$1 break; or it will have this error: rewrite or internal redirection cycle while processing "/search
proxy_pass is not localhost ?nginx cannot process your desired URI part in the proxy_pass directive because you're within a named location (hence the error message). This is because nginx is built in a modular fashion and each configuration block is read in various stages by the various modules. So just remember that you cannot have a URI within your proxy_pass directive in the following cases:
if BlocksMohammad AbuShady explained how to do a rewrite and pass the requested URI to the proxy server. I just wanted to clarify the reason.
Try omitting the "/" (URI part) and check.
location @test{
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
}
None of the above helped me.
My workaround is:
location @cat {
resolver 8.8.8.8 valid=30s;
set $upstream https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/Sheba1.JPG;
proxy_pass $upstream;
}
Note that a resolver directive might differ regarding your context.
/after the1, make ithttp://localhost:5000/1/;localhost:5000but run a rewrite before it,rewrite ^ /1$1 last
