Nginx proxy_pass location absolute paths

Question

I had a proxied page: http://destsrv:8089/index.html It contains link to absolute path like: href="/static/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css"

And nginx is configured like:

 location /admin/ {
              proxy_pass http://destsrv:8089/;
        }

Although when accessing the http://myproxy/admin/index.html it is trying to get .css from: http://myproxy/static/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css

But expected is: http://myproxy/admin/static/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css

How to do it?

Answer 1

Try this

location /admin/ {
   proxy_pass http://destsrv:8089/;
   sub_filter_once off;
   sub_filter "http://destsrv:8089/" "$scheme://$host/admin";
   sub_filter 'href="/' 'href="/admin/';
   sub_filter "href='/" "href='/admin/";
}

You basically want to fix the urls using filters
