Subject:post_action to a backend serverActions...

Hi,

I am currently using nginx on frontend to proxy all requests to an apache backend. I want to use post_action to callback upon completion of a request.

The location I want to callback to is on the backend. Currently I have the following:

location / { proxy_pass http://test; post_action /test_post.php; }

location = /test_post.php { proxy_pass http://test; internal; }

Normal proxying works fine, but nginx does not appear to ever make the callback to test_post.php. Removing the test_post.php location results in a Redirect cycle error in my log. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Kind regards,

Paul Bowsher
