Description

$ nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.13.3

I am using latest nginx:latest docker image on a Vagrant box.

uname -a for vagrant box is

I have below proxy_pass

  location /abc/ {
    sub_filter_once off;
    sub_filter_types text/css;
    sub_filter '"base": "/"' '"base": "/abc/"';
    sub_filter '<head>' '<head>\n<base href="/abc/">';
    sub_filter 'src="/' 'src="./';
    sub_filter 'href="/' 'href="./';
    sub_filter 'url("/' 'url("./';
    sub_filter 'url(\'/' 'url(\'./';

    proxy_pass http://192.168.33.100:32770/;
  }

now if i get a css file

curl -IHTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.13.3
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 16:51:13 GMT
Content-Type: text/css
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Encoding: gzip "http://vm/abc/css/abc.css"

Now if i use variables in proxy_pass

  location /abc/ {
    sub_filter_once off;
    sub_filter_types text/css;
    sub_filter '"base": "/"' '"base": "/abc/"';
    sub_filter '<head>' '<head>\n<base href="/abc/">';
    sub_filter 'src="/' 'src="./';
    sub_filter 'href="/' 'href="./';
    sub_filter 'url("/' 'url("./';
    sub_filter 'url(\'/' 'url(\'./';
    set $proxyhost 192.168.33.100;
    set $proxyport 32770;
    proxy_pass http://$proxyhost:$proxyport/;
  }

Now if I repeat the same request

curl -I "http://vm/abc/css/abc.css"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.13.3
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 16:52:49 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Connection: keep-alive

The Content-Type gets changed to text/html. Why?

When using variables in proxy_pass, if URI is specified, it is passed to the server as is, replacing the original request URI. See ​docs for details.

Thanks for the explanation, I was seeing valid response in browser and a content-type, didn't realize it was all the home page being served for every request. This helps.
