How to preserve request url with nginx proxy_pass on Mac OSX

Question

I've follow the instructions asked here, but it still changes the request url for both 80 and 443 server, does anybody have the same issue?

I'am using the OS X El Capitan 10.11.4, and I use the same nginx.conf and it works perfectly and preserves the request url on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS.

Below is my proxy setting.

location / {
    proxy_pass   http://my_app_upstream/;
    proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
}

for the installation I use brew install nginx on Mac and self-compiled one on Ubuntu

What do mean when you say the request URL changes? What does it change from/to? In the link that you provided, it is also noted that you should not include / when proxy_passing. So try `proxy_pass http://my_app_upstream;` instead of `proxy_pass http://my_app_upstream/;` and see if it helps. — Keenan Lawrence, Jul 01 '16 at 11:30
I've tried.... and it's my mistake actually :( Ngix did `proxy_pass`, but my code redirect the page again.... so both with or without slash work for me :p I vote you but I cannot mark it as answer, sorry and thank you anyway. — Hui-Yu Lee, Jul 12 '16 at 03:42
@iownthegame, thanks for upvote! you should probably still accept some answer if the problem is resolved, so that the question does not show up as unsolved. — cnst, Jul 12 '16 at 06:41

If you don't want the URL to change (e.g., due to Nginx pass_proxy subdirectory without url decoding), you should omit the trailing slash from your proxy_pass:

-proxy_pass   http://my_app_upstream/;
+proxy_pass   http://my_app_upstream;
