The Apache ProxyPassRewrite does not rewrite the response bodies received from http://test.example.com, only headers (like redirects to a 404 page and such). A number of alternatives: One) Rewrite the internal app to use relative paths instead of absolute. i.e. ../css/style.css instead of /css/style.css Two) Redeploy the internal app in a the same subdirectory /folder rather … Read more
For IIS 7.5, Microsoft provides official modules for this!

How can I remove the [warn] and avoid buffering responses? Is it better to turn off proxy_buffering or set proxy_max_temp_file_size to 0? Why? You should set proxy_max_temp_file_size to 0 in order to remove it. The proxy_buffering directive isn’t directly related to the warning. You can switch it off to stop any buffering at all but … Read more
Actually you can do that via proxy_set_header. For more details look here: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_set_header or see an example use-case here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12847771/configure-nginx-with-proxy-pass I have included the dynamic approach into your above posted configuration: server { listen 80; server_name example.com; location / { proxy_pass http://main; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; } } Here is an example with … Read more
I don’t think that there is a way to explicitly invalidate cached items, but here is an example of how to do the rest. Update: As mentioned by Piotr in another answer, there is a cache purge module that you can use. You can also force a refresh of a cached item using nginx’s proxy_cache_bypass … Read more
Your confusion is reasonable – they are often the same thing. But not always. When you refer to a load balancer you are referring to a very specific thing – a server or device that balances inbound requests across two or more web servers to spread the load. A reverse proxy, however, typically has any … Read more
Any redirect to localhost doesn’t make sense from a remote system (e.g. client’s Web browser). So the rewrite flags permanent (301) or redirect (302) are not usable in your case. Please try following setup using a transparent rewrite rule: location /foo { rewrite /foo/(.*) /$1 break; proxy_pass http://localhost:3200; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $host; } Use … Read more
Your code appears to be using a forward proxy (often just “proxy”), not reverse proxy and they operate quite differently. Reverse proxy is for server end and something client doesn’t really see or think about. It’s to retrieve content from the backend servers and hand to the client.
