Hi there,

It looks like you had:

location /src/ {
alias /storage/path/content/;
}

and the url /src/before_body.txt would provide the content of the local
file /storage/path/content/before_body.txt.

Now instead you want the content of the url
http://externalserver.com/before_body.txt?

In that case, just change the "alias" line to "proxy_pass
http://externalserver.com/;", and change nothing else.

This should be broadly similar, except it will fetch the url
http://externalserver.com/src/before_body.txt -- maybe that is what
you want?

It works for me, providing the content of
http://externalserver.com/src/before_body.txt, before the
autoindex-generated content.

Can you show one complete config that does not do what you want?
