Hi,
I'm not sure if this question belongs here because it touches Pyramid as
well as Nginx.
I have two web applications, one called rhino another called mantis
(rhino.abc.com & mantis.abc.com). Mantis is some sort of web service
without any page templates; it converts data sent from Rhino into PDFs or
Excel documents. I've done something similar in the past; sending data
cross domain using JSONP, but then I switched to using Apache ProxyPass,
unfortunately, I had a server specialist to set that up for me. I want
to use Nginx's proxy_pass directive but I'm not too sure how to set it up
so that Pyramid works with it.
Scenario use case:
User clicks on a button in the UI. This triggers an ajax request to the
backend of Rhino. Rhino pulls and processes data and returns a data
structure as a response to the ajax request. Here comes the tricky part
(unsure part): I send another ajax request to
rhino.abc.com/pdf/reports/get_doc with the response data. Nginx
"understands" the /pdf/reports/get_doc path and uses proxy pass to
"redirect" that to mantis as mantis.ebalu.com/pdf/reports/get_doc.
My question here: Is there a way for Pyramid to immediately send the
processed data to Mantis without having to respond to the ajax request and
then making a secondary ajax request to Mantis?
My mantis nginx configuration isn't doing anything special here, but my
rhino nginx configuration is as follows:
upstream rhino.ebalu.com {
server 127.0.0.3:6545 fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
client_max_body_size 4G;
server_name rhino.abc.com;
keepalive_timeout 8;
root /web/data/prod/rhino/rhino;
error_log /web/data/logs/rhino/error.log;
access_log /web/data/logs/rhino/access.log;
location = /favicon.ico {
return 204;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded_For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_redirect off;
if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_pass http://rhino.abc.com;
}
}
location ^~ /pdf/ {
#rewrite ^/pdf/(.*) /pdf/$1 break; <------What do I do
here?
*proxy_pass http://mantis.abc.com/;*
}
}
Can someone please help me out?
Regards,
Mark Huang
