nginx redirect twice from https to http -

i have 2 servers, 1 has ssl , config this,

in server ssl certification(which https:// www.example.com):

location ~^/abc/.* {     proxy_pass http://www.example.com:8214/ } 

in server(which http:// www.anotherexample.com):

server {      listen 8214;      server_name www.anotherexample.com;      rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.anotherexample.com:8080/$1 permanent;  } 

and after access https:// www.example.com/abc/api/getgroup

it can't redirect http:// www.anotherexample.com:8080/api/getgroup

anything wrong???

there couple of things improve configuration.

location ^~ /abc/ {     proxy_pass http://www.example.com:8214$uri;     #you should have other directives set here well. } 

also, consider setting upstream. then, server block:

server{     listen 8124;     server_name www.anotherexample.com;     rewrite ^/abc/(.*)$ http://www.anotherexample.com:8080/$1 permanent; }  server{     listen 8080;     server_name www.anotherexample.com;      location ^~ /api/ {         #your_config_here     } } 

the explanation:

in first location block, shouldn't have .* in expression. nginx match you. then, when you're proxying, can explicitly tell nginx send uri well.

next, you're sending uri www.anotherexample.com:8124, includes /abc/, want extract after that.

lastly, because you've rewritten point 8080 port, you'll need define separate server block this.

i don't know you're aiming achieve, proxying , redirects isn't necessary in cases, , might lead poor performance. consideration should take account you're sending unencrypted information anotherexample.com, which, if not on same local network, might security vulnerability.
