I am proxying some paths to another server. That server responds with 302 Moved Temporarily. I need to change that particular status code to 200 OK. Otherwise I can pass response through as-is and other status codes should pass without changes.

location /api {
  proxy_pass http://some.server/api;
}

Reason for status code mangling is IE that wont work with 302 status code in this request when using Ajax.

But 200 should give some result content, I guess. How should nginx get it? – Alexey Ten Jan 29 '15 at 12:42
200 with empty content or fixed content (specified in nginx configuration) or 204 No Content are also suitable responses in my case. – Juha Syrjälä Jan 29 '15 at 18:21
Well, then you need `error_page` and `proxy_intercept_errors` – Alexey Ten Jan 29 '15 at 18:29
