Hello,

Is there a simple way to redirect a request to another domain?

Say nginx is running on http://bar.com
uri request is /foo/[http://new.url.org]

I want the user to be directed to http://new.url.org

The rewrite command only seems to ever handle the uri portion correctly, so no matter what I try it redirects to http://bar.com/foo/http://new.url.org so basically it is doing nothing.

I'm trying to muck around with rewrite_by_lua but not having much better success unless I hard code the url into ngx.redirect()

Any ideas? I bet its something simple I've overlooked.

Hi,

I am not sure if I understand your request completely, but here's what I'd try:

rewrite ^/foo(.*)$ http://new.url.org$1 permanent;

or

rewrite ^/foo http://new.url.org permanent;
