Nginx as a proxy...
I have a small problem using nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Tomcat 8.. The problem is that sometimes the context url is set to the local ip
address of the tomcat server instead of the hostname used to access the nginx server.
And I know this can be solved by using proxyname and proxypost but as far as I can see, this can only be configured for the connector port, which
make the setting global? Add I run 5 other web applications in the same Tomcat instance so changing this globally is not an option...
Anyway to solve this?
Regards,
BTJ

Yes, just thought of having a second connector for ssl, thx for
confirming it... :)

Set the scheme on the connector.
If nginx is receiving both http and https traffic then the simplest way
is to have two connectors in Tomcat, one with scheme="http" and one with
scheme="https" (and secure="true").
Note that scheme, secure and sslEnabled may all be set independently to
handle the various permutations of reverse proxy config.

Thx, was missing the HOST header... And now the url is almost correct...
The remaining problem, is that the url looses the scheme used, so it
gets redirected to http address instead of https; is that configured in
the Tomcat config somewhere or?

option 1. Configure nginx to set the host header as you wish
option 2. Remote IP Host/Valve (still requires nginx config)
