   This does not work for me (nginx version: nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu) and superset 0.28.1 on different servers). We wanted to evaluate Superset, but I think about to give it up.
   
   My trys ended up in cascades of https://host.xyz/superset/superset/superset/[...]/welcome, in lots of 404s, never-ending redirects or something similar.
   
   I even configured nginx to listen to 8443 (since 443 is bounded to a bunch of other applications) to pass everything to the superset server. But even this ended up in an error: "The referrer does not match the host."
   
   To be honest, I came in touch with several (>50) semi professional and professional web applications as an administrator of reverse proxies and web application firewalls. Even the worse ones were able to define a url prefix or were able to work behind a reverse proxy without breaking the fingers. This is a must have for web applications nowadays.
   
   I like the idea of hiding applications behind url prefixes for public access-able services, because the most scanners try to tackle / and a bunch of well-know directories and nothing more. In addition to that it is much, much easier for http based routing, if you have one central entry point.
