Nginx URL masking to a different domain

Question

There\'s a few similar questions on SO, but none exactly mine, and I\'ve had no luck trying to adapt their answers so far.

I want to map the URL http://sub.exa

Answer 1

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name sub.example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass https://123.12.12.12/path;
    }
}

Thats how it works. If proxy_pass contains locations part - current location will be replaced to specified. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_pass

But it's help only for http request and http redirects. If application create html with links https://123.12.12.12 - it's still unchanged. In this case you can try ngx_http_sub_module.
