nginx proxypath https redirect fails without trailing slash
- by Thermionix
I'm trying to setup Nginx to forward requests to several backend services using proxy_pass.
The links on the pages that lack trailing slashes do have https:// in front, but get redirected to a http request with a trailing slash - which ends in connection refused - I only want these services to be available through https.
So if a link is too https://example.com/internal/errorlogs
in a browser when loaded https://example.com/internal/errorlogs gives Error Code 10061: Connection refused (it redirects to http://example.com/internal/errorlogs/)
If I manually append the trialing slash https://example.com/internal/errorlogs/ it loads
I've tried with varied trailing forward slashes appended to the proxypath and location in proxy.conf to no effect, have also added server_name_in_redirect off;
This happens on more than one app under nginx, and works in apache reverse proxy
Config files;
proxy.conf
location /internal {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8081/internal;
