Nginx (2. Reverse Proxy)

Reverse Proxy is one of the most important features of nginx. Opposite to forward proxy, it proxy is not a client, but a target source, that is, the target source of my proxy satisfies the request given by the client.

The simple configuration of reverse proxy in nginx is as follows:

Server {Listen 801; SERVER_NAME localhost; # charset koi8-r; # access_log logs/host. Access. Log main; Location/{proxy_pass http: // 127.0.0.1: 3000/; proxy_redirect default ;}

If the client accesses nginx's localhost: 801 port, its request will be mapped to localhost: 3000 port.

You can view the nginx access log as follows:

"Get/stylesheets/style.css HTTP/1.1" 200 117 "http: // localhost: 801/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; win64; x64) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, like gecko) Chrome/41.0.2251.0 Safari/537.36"
