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

you have to use rewrite to pass params using proxy_pass here is example I did for angularjs app deployment to s3

S3 Static Website Hosting Route All Paths to Index.html

adopted to your needs would be something like

location /service/ {
    rewrite ^\/service\/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_pass http://apache;
}

if you want to end up in http://127.0.0.1:8080/query/params/

if you want to end up in http://127.0.0.1:8080/service/query/params/ you'll need something like

location /service/ {
    rewrite ^\/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_pass http://apache;
}
