Nginx URL masking to a different domain

Question

There\'s a few similar questions on SO, but none exactly mine, and I\'ve had no luck trying to adapt their answers so far.

I want to map the URL http://sub.exa

Answer 1

I did like this:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    listen 443 http2 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 http2 ssl;

    server_name domain1;

    if ($request_method ~* OPTIONS|GET|HEAD) {
        return 301 https://domain2$request_uri;
    }

    location ~* api {
        proxy_pass https://domain2$request_uri;
    }
}

Because post-requests will cause a 405 error when redirecting.
