Nginx rewrite rule with proxy pass

Question

I'm trying to implement nginx rewrite rules for the following situation

Request:

http://192.168.64.76/Shep.ElicenseWeb/Public/OutputDocuments.ashx?uinz=12009718&iinbin=860610350635  

Should be redirected to:

http://localhost:82/Public/OutputDocuments.ashx?uinz=12009718&iinbin=860610350635  

I tried this with no luck:

location /Shep.ElicenseWeb/ {     rewrite ^/Shep.ElicenseWeb/ /$1 last;     proxy_pass http://localhost:82; } 

What is the correct way to perform such a rewrite for nginx ?

Answer 1

Your rewrite statement is wrong.

The $1 on the right refers to a group (indicated by paratheses) in the matching section.

Try:

rewrite  ^/Shep.ElicenseWeb/(.*)  /$1 break; 

Answer 2

You're missing a trailing slash:

location /Shep.ElicenseWeb/ {     proxy_pass http://localhost:82/; } 

This will work without a rewrite.
