NGINX subdomain Redirect issue - nginx

Question

I am trying to redirect my new site subdomin in nginx
www.test.com/video/ >>> www.test.com/v/
want to rewrite /video/ to /v/ though
so i tried this in nginx conf.d
server {
server_name www.test.com/video/;
return 301 http://www.test.com/v/$request_uri;
}
and
server {
server_name www.test.com/video/;
rewrite ^(.*) http://www.test.com/v/ permanent;
}
even this
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.test.com/video/;
location / {
proxy_pass http://www.test.com/v/;
}
}
but its always redirect to a fix url
curl -I http://www.test.com/v/
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: awselb/2.0
Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2022 12:14:03 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 134
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://www.test.com:443/v/
Can anyone help me with this ? What is wrong here ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

So, /v is the real name and you want to tunnel /video calls to it.
Maybe a configuration like this could match :
server {
listen 8022; # so 74014922;
server_name www.test.com; # here your server name
root D:/WEB; # and here the root path of your site (I'm under Windows, sorry ^^)
location /video { # the path from root directive value
proxy_pass http://www.test.com/v;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
EDIT : alternative - nginx redirection
Finally, I think there is no need to look further a native redirection, as follow :
location /video {
rewrite /video(.*)$ /v$1 redirect;
}
As far as we can hope, it should do the job, please let me know.
