redirect and proxy on the same location based on user agent
May 17, 2012 02:26AM
'm new to nginx, comming from apache and i basically want to do the following:

Based on user-agent: iPhone: redirect to iphone.mydomain.com
android: redirect to android.mydomain.com
facebook: reverse proxy to otherdomain.com
all other: redirect to ...
and tried it the following way:

location /tvoice {
if ($http_user_agent ~ iPhone ) {
rewrite ^(.*) https://m.domain1.com$1 permanent;
}
...
if ($http_user_agent ~ facebookexternalhit) {
proxy_pass http://mydomain.com/api;
}

rewrite /tvoice/(.*) http://mydomain.com/#!tvoice/$1 permanent;
}

But now i get an error when starting nginx:

nginx: [emerg] "proxy_pass" cannot have URI part in location given by regular expression, or inside named location, or inside "if" statement, or inside "limit_except"

And i dont get how to do it or what the problem is.

Thanks
