I currently have the following setup:
- nginx: port 80, act as a webserver and a proxy
- nodejs: port 8888, running socket.io (which utilizes websockets)
So I tried using the newest development branch for nginx but it doesn't support websocket.
I gave tcp_proxy a try and it works great. (Although I tried it with another port for the connection and it didn't involve this reverse proxying based on urls)
My problem right now is that I am unable to route http requests that starts with /socket.io to the tcp_proxy.
tcp {
upstream nodejs {
server 127.0.0.1:8888;
}
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay off;
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.mysite.com;
root someroot;
location /socket.io {
# How do I redirect to upstream nodejs?
}
}
}
Thanks for the help!
