Edit a header value in nginx

Question

Background
So I\'ve got a server running a tomcat application hidden behind an Apache proxy. The proxy provides a more user friendly url as well as SSL

Answer 1

You can use the map directive to rewrite your header:

 map $upstream_http_locationafterlogon $new_location {
     ~regexp   new_value;
 }

 proxy_hide_header LocationAfterLogon;
 add_header LocationAfterLogon $new_location;

See the documentation: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_map_module.html
