Description
This may be desired, but it is not well documented, and caused me many hours of troubleshooting.
if using no-variables the uri is implicitly and transparently appended to the proxy_pass, i.e. a static definition:
location /test/ {
proxy_pass http://upstream/test/;
}
Called with a URI of /test/this, will call the upstream URL: http://upstream/test/this. However, if a variable definition is used:
location /test/ {
set $upstream_var upstream;
proxy_pass http://$upstream_var/test/;
}
The same URL will ignore the URI, and only ever call http://upstream/test/
Changing the definition as follows resolves the problem, but is very counter-intuitive as the same command behaves differently which is not expected:
location /test/ {
set $upstream_var upstream;
proxy_pass http://$upstream_var$request_uri;
}
I don't know if there is a code fix to this--but it wasn't easy to figure out so perhaps the docs could somehow be more clear?
