Nginx proxy hangs when proxiing to itself
- by Thomas
I have Nginx running as a proxy for a number of services including a Geoserver running on port 8080 with the following config:
location ^~ /wms/ {
rewrite ^/wms/(.*)$ /geoserver/ows$1 break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
proxy_read_timeout 150s;
}
and a proxy service to avoid SOP problems which works as follows:
location ^~ /proxy/?targetURL= {
rewrite ^/proxy/?targetURL=(.*)$ $1 break;
proxy_pass $1;
proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
proxy_read_timeout 150s;
}
My web server is also under the same domain, ran by a jetty on port 8888, handled by the same proxy.
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
proxy_read_timeout 150s;
}
From my web application I make WMS server calls for data via my proxy service. It works fine for external servers but it hangs when I call my own internal geoserver. My geoserver proxy works fine, I can make WMS service queries with the said URL.
The call that hangs is basically:
http://mywebappdomain.com/proxy/?targetURL=http://mywebappdomain.com/wms/?my_set_of_parameters
Which means that the proxy rule applies and the WMS service is called from the same server.
Is there an issue with proxying over itself?
