NGINX proxy_pass to another port

Question

I am trying to do an auth_request in nginx by proxy pass but I keep getting:

1 auth request unexpected status: 301

here is my configuration:

server {
    listen      8080;
    server_name  localhost;

    location /my_location/ {
        auth_request /access/auth;
        try_files $uri =404;
    }

    location /access/auth/{
        proxy_pass   http://localhost:5029/server_alias/web_service_name;
        proxy_set_header   Host             $host;
        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }

}

The request should be sent to the apache server which is listening on port 5029. What am i doing wrong ?

I guess, you should learn how `proxy_pass` and `auth_request` work. — Alexey Ten, Nov 25 '15 at 11:43

I found the answer for anyone facing the same problem Only a backslash was missing in auth_request path.

location /my_location/ {
    auth_request /access/auth/;
    try_files $uri =404;
}

That was exactly my problem too. Thank you! – Adi Jun 11 '17 at 14:12
If no backslash as suffix, nginx would always sent a response with status 301 to client. – Light.G Jan 03 '19 at 07:45
