Avoid nginx decoding query parameters on proxy_pass (equivalent to AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode)
I finally found the solution: I need to pass $request_uri parameter : location / { proxy_pass http://tracking/webapp$request_uri; } That way, characters that were encoded in the original request will not be decoded, i.e. will be passed as-is to the proxied server.
How to log real client ip in rails log when behind proxy like nginx

Forward proxy is something the client sets … Read more
Can nginx be used as a reverse proxy for a backend websocket server?
You can’t use nginx for this currently[it’s not true anymore], but I would suggest looking at HAProxy. I have used it for exactly this purpose. The trick is to set long timeouts so that the socket connections are not closed. Something like: timeout client 86400000 # In the frontend timeout server 86400000 # In the … Read more
