NGINX URI rewrite/add pattern - nginx

Having the uri /test/test.ssm/.umm/view=500-974652006, I need to have NGINX this converted to:
/test/test_new.ssm/.umm/view=500-974652006. In other words, add the _new pattern when capturing the .ssm URI.
I have tried the following NGINX configurations, but nothing worked:
rewrite ^(.*).ssm.*)$ $1_new.ssm$2;
location / { set $proxyurl 'http://backend'; if ($request_uri ~* "(.*).ssm(.*)") { set $proxyurl 'http://backend/$1_new.ssm$2'; } proxy_pass $proxyurl; }
thank you.

Replace first part of nginx $uri before proxy_pass

I have following location ngix config:
location /bar {
proxy_pass http://bar-api/api;
}
I can test it with curl
$ curl foo.com/bar/test
{"test passed":true}
But IP address of internal server bar-api could change, so I can not specify it directly as above.
I understand, I need to use variables in the location block and specify resolver. Resolver is already specified in http block of nginx config resolver 192.168.0.11 valid=10s;
I'm not sure how to modify location block, so it will work the same way as before.
I tried this:
location /bar {
set $target http://bar-api/api;
proxy_pass $target;
}
But test fails:
$ curl foo.com/bar/test
<getting 404>
Also tried:
location /bar {
set $target bar-api;
proxy_pass http://$target/api;
}
Test still fails:
$ curl foo.com/bar/test
<getting 404>
Probably $uri should be modified with regex. This part /bar/test should be /api/test
So I could use it in location.
location /bar {
set $target bar-api;
<some magic here>
proxy_pass http://$target/$modified_uri;
}
But how to do it?
Use rewrite...break to make the URI change. For example:
location /bar {
set $target bar-api;
rewrite ^/bar(.*)$ /api$1 break;
proxy_pass http://$target;
}
See this document for details.

how in nginx to redirect location to any host received urls?

I need to get the host address from the request and redirect to another host with the rewritten address, but in all possible ways I failed
Here's an example (one of the attempts):
location / {
proxy_pass http://...;
...
}
location /service/(.*)$/ {
rewrite /service/$1/(.*)$ /$2 break;
proxy_pass http://$1.localhost:8080/;
...
}
Works only if hardcoded:
location /service/hostaname/ {
rewrite /service/hostaname/(.*)$ /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://hostaname.localhost:8080/;
...
}
But this is not a suitable solution for me
Help meeeeeee, thanks!
Your location syntax is invalid, as it is missing the regular expression operator. The rewrite statement contains an invalid regular expression.
You do not need the rewrite statement as you can extract the parts of the URI from the location statement.
For example:
location ~ ^/service/([^/]+)/(.*)$ {
proxy_pass http://$1.localhost:8080/$2;
}
You may need to define a resolver statement as the proxy_pass contains variables. See this document for details.

nginx proxy_pass with new URI does not work if host is varaible

I am trying to use variable to set the hostname in a proxy_pass, but once I try that, the path after the location is ignored.
If I try and get localhost:8001/dirA/x/y/z.html. The following returns the file from http://server1:8888/dirB/dirC/x/y/z.html. This is what I expect to happen.
location ^~ /dirA/ {
proxy_pass http://server1:8888/dirB/dirC/;
But if I try the following config which is just using a variable for hostname... and try and get localhost:8001/dirA/x/y/z.html
location ^~ /dirA/ {
set $endpoint server1;
proxy_pass http://$endpoint:8888/dirB/dirC/;
I get http://server1:8888/dirB/dirC/index.html returned instead.
That's just how proxy_pass works. If you use a variable in the value, you need to provide the entire URI. See this document for details;
You could use a regular expression location. For example:
location ~ ^/dirA/(.*)$ {
set $endpoint server1;
proxy_pass http://$endpoint:8888/dirB/dirC/$1;
}
Note that the order of regular expression locations is significant. See this document for details.
Alternatively, a rewrite...break should also work.
location ^~ /dirA/ {
set $endpoint server1;
rewrite ^/dirA/(.*)$ /dirB/dirC/$1 break;
proxy_pass http://$endpoint:8888;
}

how to get url parameter and pass to proxy_pass using nginx

I need to get the parameter from an URL, for example, abc=MY_STRING:
https://my-address/test?abc=MY_STRING
And at the reverse proxy (my-address), is configured like this:
location /test?(.*) {
proxy_pass http://local-server:1234/test?$args
}
but it is not working.
I tried another configuration:
location /test?(.*) {
proxy_pass http://local-server:1234/test?$1
}
but not worked too.
You cannot match the query string part of the URI with a location or rewrite statement, as it is not part of the normalized URI.
But you don't need to. The URI (complete with query string) will be passed upstream
unless you redirect it using a rewrite or try_files statement.
For example:
location /test {
proxy_pass http://localhost:1234;
}
The URI /test?abc=MY_STRING will match the location and be passed to localhost:1234 exactly the same. See this document for more.

How to set the proxy_pass to get the desired address?

I have been struggling with setting up Nginx for our use case.
When I set up Nginx with the following config:
location /dep-core {
proxy_pass http://node-server:7070/;
}
and call the server with following endpoint:
<END-POINT>/dep-core/api/login
the call is redirected to
<ADDRESS-AFTER-RESOLUTION>//api/login
with two leading //s.
and when I remove the trailing / in proxy_pass after 7070:
location /dep-core {
proxy_pass http://node-server:7070;
}
the call is redirected to
<ADDRESS-AFTER-RESOLUTION>/dep-core/api/login
with leading /dep-core appended.
I want my call to redirect my call to:
<ADDRESS-AFTER-RESOLUTION>/api/login
What would be the standard way to achieve this??
For correct translation from /dep-core/foo to /foo, the location directive requires a trailing /.
For example:
location /dep-core/ {
proxy_pass http://node-server:7070/;
}
See this document for details.
To translate /dep-core to /, you can use a rewrite...break with a clever regular expression in the second block of your question. But a simple solution is to add an exact match location for that single edge case.
For example:
location = /dep-core {
rewrite ^ $uri/ last;
}
location /dep-core/ {
proxy_pass http://node-server:7070/;
}
