I have a tomcat server bind localhost:8080, and my nginx 0.8.24's conf is ====================================== ... ...

server { listen 80; server_name localhost;

location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:8080; } } ... ... ====================================== when I access http://mydomain/docs, the url will be redirected to
http://localhost/docs. Of course, the url, http://mydomain/docs/ , is working
correctly!
