So I had my last "reverse proxy" problem fixed regarding "mapping" a port to a subfolder Thanks again to this awesome community.
I have been able to work with this solution for a while but now I am facing a new problem. The situation is:
There is a webpage setup (using nginx) with this url http://test.domain.com:8042/view.html
. I needed for various reasons that this port turns into a subfolder and achieved it (with help) and gained http://test.domain.com/view/view.html
.
The proxy_pass for this is:
location ~/view(.*)$ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
proxy_pass http://test.domain.com:8042$1;
This works amazing. I can access the page over http://test.domain.com/view/view.html
. There are several websockets on that page, one also has the port 8042. This one works fine. However, the other websockets have different ports, e.g. 8159. I have added an respective proxy_pass to the nginx config:
location ~/cantrace(.*)$ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
proxy_pass http://test.domain.com:8159$1;
From Javascript this websocket is called via
my_websocket = new WebSocket('ws://test.domain.com/cantrace/ws');
but that does not work. Neither does
my_websocket = new WebSocket('ws://test.domain.com/view/cantrace/ws');
What does work, however, is
http://test.domain.com:8042/view.html
and then it loads the other websockets on view.html with
my_websocket = new WebSocket('ws://test.domain.com/cantrace/ws');
which did previously not work.
So clearly the double proxy_pass with /view and /cantrace is a problem here. Is there a way to work around this with nginx?
Thank you very much!
