Proxy http upload to another server

Question

My application consists of a UI web server and an application web server, both of them communicates through a message bus.

now I want to let user upload a file through their web browser, the problem is, user's browser is connecting UI web server, but I want to the file is finally uploaded to application web server.

How can I do this? Can I redirect all http upload requests to application server? Is there any example I can follow? thank you

You can do this, by just changing the POST location of the <form's action= attribute to the script you want to accept the file on the appropriate url location. The location you post to must be accessible to the user to be able to POST to.

The other option is to post it to your UI web server, and from your UI web server, send it to the application web server.

e.g.

<form action="http://other-server.example.com" method="POST">

unfortunately the application is invisible to user. – zx_wing Dec 03 '13 at 23:29
@zx_wing, then you have to post it across from your public site to your private site. As no one can post it directly to a private site because it's private of course. – David d C e Freitas Dec 03 '13 at 23:30
