I'm trying to use nginx for proxying requests to my internal backend.

My configuration reads as follows:

location /Shibboleth.sso {
    proxy_pass internal-backend; # ip
    proxy_redirect off;
}

But, my redirects are always rewritten.. My backend returns a response like https://www.google.de/test and my browser receives https://www.mydomain.de/test

How do I get nginx to just forward the response?

GeoIP and Nginx

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I have a nginx with geoip, but it is not working rightly. The issue is the next: Nginx are getting geodata from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead of $_SERVER['HTTP_X_HAPROXY_IP'], which have the real client ip. So, the reported geodata belongs to my server ip instead of client ip. Does anybody where… >>> More
