I wrote this /etc/nginx/conf.d/apply.conf and started nginx.
server {
location = /hoge {
return 200;
}
}
but the curl command fails.
curl localhost:80/hoge
It says
<html>
<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.13.9</center>
</body>
</html>
and the logs are
open() "/usr/share/nginx/html/hoge" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET /hoge HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost"
I want to just return the status code without response body or with response body blank.
I changed to this but still not working.
location /hoge {
return 200 'Wow';
add_header Content-Type text/plain;
}
also tried this.
location /hoge {
return 200 'Wow';
default_type text/plain;
}

It is hard to say without context(how your entire nginx config file looks like), because of how nginx processes a request
A config file like the following, should work just fine for what you are looking for:
server {
listen 80;
location /hoge {
return 200;
}
}
However, if your config file has other location blocks(especially if they are regex based) then you may not get the expected solution. Take an example of this config file:
server {
listen 80;
location /hoge {
return 200;
}
location ~* /ho {
return 418;
}
}
Sending a request to curl localhost:80/hoge would return a http status code 418 instead of 200. This is because the regex location matched before the exact location.
So, the long answer is; it is hard to tell without the context of the whole nginx conf file that you are using. But understanding how nginx processes a request will get you to the answer.
