Add Location as add_header inside location block

Question

How to do we add Location inside add_header inside nginx location block for Response headers So the Location inside response header looks like this.

The value of location header is same as the browser VIP

Answer 1

Location header is relevant only with 3xx redirects. Using this header you're telling the client to what location it should redirect (how should URL change).

When configuring redirect by rewrite or return directives Nginx will automatically start including Location header in responses.

If you want to explicitly set the location header to any response you could one of these (second one in case you're using some non-standard port):

add_header Location $scheme://$host;

add_header Location $scheme://$host:$port;

    location / {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index  index.html index.htm;
        add_header Location $scheme://$host;
    }
