Lighttpd Port/Proxy Alias Redirect

Question

I am trying to redirect an alias to an internal port.

[https]://www.site.com/place ---> [http]://localhost:10000

The configuration entry I currently have just changes the URL to [https]://www.site.com:10000 instead of preserving the URL.

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/place" {
  $HTTP["host"] =~ ".*" {
    url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://%0:10000" )
  }
}

I would like the URL to stay site.com/place

Answer 1

Add $0 to the url

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/place" {
  $HTTP["host"] =~ ".*" {
    url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "http://%0:10000$0" )
  }
}
