I have tried many options, but did not find a suitable answer. I can do this in Apache, but I can’t figure out how to do a redirect in Nginx while maintaining the URL
.../s1 changes to .../image.jpg - how to fix it?
location /s
rewrite "/s1" https://example.com/image.jpg last;
nginx

Try:rewrite ^/s1$ /image.jpg last;- the first parameter should be a regular expression - and by usinghttps://example.com/you are turning the rewrite into a redirect.

A redirect always changes the url, a rewrite keeps it internally.
In this case nginx is turning your rewrite into a redirect, because you specified a different server. You have 2 options:
- If the url you want to rewrite to is local, you should simply remove the
https://example.compart to make the url relative instead of absolute. - If you really want to mask a different server, then what you need to build is a reverse proxy. Nginx does have features for this.
