nginx cookies with proxy_path

trscookie · 05-19-2016, 04:37 AM

Hello all,

I've been trying to set up nginx so that if a user has a cookie 'DEV' they are redirected to one group of servers, however if they do *not* have this cookie set they visit another group of servers, I have tried a few things but cannot get it working, here is my current code:

Code:

upstream developers {
        server 10.211.55.1;
        server 10.211.55.2;
}

upstream production {
        server 10.211.55.9 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=10s;
        server 10.211.55.10 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=10s;
        server 10.211.55.11 backup;
}

server  {
        listen 80 default_server;
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;

        location / {
                if ($http_cookie ~* 'DEV') {
                        proxy_pass http://developers;
                        break;
                }
                proxy_pass http://production;
        }
}

I am always redirected to developers server

I have done some more digging, and I think that nginx is returning a cached response, so I have tried to disable caching, but I still get the same error:

Code:

        add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
        proxy_cache off;

noticed in firebug:

Code:
