I have nginx running on my server, listening port 80 and 433. I know nginx has a number ways of port forwarding that allows me to forward request like: http://myserver:80/subdir1 to some address like: http://myserver:8888.
My question is it possible to configure nginx so that i can forward NON-http request (just those plain TCP connection) to some other port? It's very easy to test if it's a http request because the first bytes will be either "GET" or "POST". Here's the example.
The client connected to nginx . The client send:
a. HTTP get request: "GET / HTTP 1.1": some rule for HTTP
b. Any bytes that can't be recognized as HTTP header: forward it to some other port, say, 888, 999, etc.
Is it technically possible? Or would you suggest a way to do this?

To redirect /mail and /blog , you simply need to add new entries the location section in the config file: server { listen ...; ... location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; } location /blog { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8181; } location /mail { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8282; } ... }
NGINX was initially designed as a reverse proxy server. However, with continuous development, NGINX also serves as one of the options to implement the forward proxy. The forward proxy itself is not complex, the key issue it addresses is how to encrypt HTTPS traffic.
To make Nginx Listen on multiple ports for a single virtual host file, you can add multiple listen directives. If you want to make Nginx listen for different virtual hosts on different ports, you can use different ports in listen directive in different virtual host files. It's that easy!
It is possible since nginx 1.9.0:

Something along these lines (this goes on top level of nginx.conf):
stream { upstream backend { server backend1.example.com:12345; } server { listen 12345; proxy_pass backend; } } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
