I have nginx setup to front a python paste instance. They are on the same box with paste serving from 127.0.0.1 and nginx serving to outside world.

The problem comes when my python app sets cookies, the domain stays with localhost rendering the cookies useless. Obviously I'm not the first to encounter this, but I'm having trouble finding the standard solution to this?

The proxy_cookie_domain directive is exists exactly for this case.

But it most likely that you do not pass the Host header.

proxy_set_header Host $host;

http://nginx.org/r/proxy_set_header

  • Thanks - just having trouble setting proxy_cookie_path now: I have proxy_cookie_path / /somewhere/myapp/ under location /somewhere/myapp. But the client still gets '/'. – user1561108 Nov 28 '12 at 10:26
  • Strange. How do you check it? Try `curl -I`. – VBart Nov 28 '12 at 11:07
