Description
Nginx configuration:
location = /xxx { return 301 /qwerty; }
Expected result:
GET http://localhost/xxx contains header Location: /qwerty
Actual result:
GET http://localhost/xxx contains header Location: http://localhost/querty
This is a problem when nginx runs behind another reverse proxy, so that nginx doesn't know the correct public hostname/port to redirect to.
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33523821/how-to-issue-a-relative-url-redirect-from-nginx for details.

Because the inner nginx behind a reverse proxy doesn't know the public origin (schema, hostname, port).
comment:3 by , 8 years ago
Yes, nginx does not know public origin behind proxy. It only knows what in proxy scope, so yo may pass additional info with values by using optional vars
comment:4 by , 8 years ago
These vars can change quite often in cloud environment. It would be helpful if nginx wouldn't need to know them in this case.
