How can query string parameters be forwarded through a proxy_pass with nginx?

Question

upstream apache {
   server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}
server{
   location ~* ^/service/(.*)$ {
      proxy_pass http://apache/$1;
      proxy_redirect off;
   }
 }
         


        

Answer 1

I use a slightly modified version of kolbyjack's second approach with ~ instead of ~*.

location ~ ^/service/ {
  proxy_pass http://apache/$uri$is_args$args;
}
