I`ve beed using nxingx as a local balancer for few backend servers:

server_name cmydomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://mydomain.com;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;

}

What I need to do is for a certain url to rewrite it to an external url
but serve the requests as a proxy instead of returing a redirect, so this
is transparent to the client:
http://mydomain.com/redirect/(.*)$ should go to
http://extranal.comain.com/$1
I saw this is possible with a simple rewrite but it returns a redirect to
the client. Is is possible to make nginx to server the rewrite as a
proxy?
Or probably, you need X-Accel-Redirect:
http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxXSendfile
What I`m trying to do is to server some location (/redirect/ in the example
above) to an external server. It is doable with this:
location /redirect {
rewrite ^/redirect/(.*)$ http://some.domain.com/$1
}
This however returns a 302 code, what I want is nginx to get the file
requested from http://some.domain.com/ and server it to the client, so that
the client doesn't have a clue that this was taken from an external server.
In other words, I`d like to treat http://some.domain.com as a backend server,
but just for a given location.
Hope that makes sense. I don't think X-Accel-Redirect is what I need here.
