I am trying to put mod_http_upload behind a nginx reverse proxy.
In nginx I just set up the usual proxy forwarding:
# remove URL prefix
rewrite /ejabberd/(.*) /$1 break;
rewrite /ejabberd$ /ejabberd/ permanent;
proxy_pass
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_buffering off;
#tcp_nodelay on;
# some more proxy headers follow…
And in the access log I even can see the requests (custom log format):
192.168.0.13 - - [SOMEDATE:23:59:21 +0100] "PUT /ejabberdNP0lC/customuploaddir/de754bb7b1e8ad30593b859b2c22bb2d942cb2e4/yyDPCEq7r5cn48AWjuUCSWwHGt46zHUOMtGX5DT4/Tux.svg HTTP/1.1" 500 23 "-" "Gajim 0.16.6"; tls: TLSv1.2 ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384; (158717) POST:"-"

I've hit the same error with
I've hit the same error with Apache mod_proxy.
But I've found a solution: I made sure the path was the same.
Try the following:
-
port: 1234
request_handlers:
[…]
"/ejabberd/customuploaddir": mod_http_upload
mod_http_upload:
[…]
put_url: "https://domain.example/ejabberd/customuploaddir"
And keep the prefix in NGinx.
Apache config would go like this:
ProxyPass /ejabberd/
ProxyPassReverse /ejabberd/
I think it also work if you get rid of the prefix everywhere.
Because I'm not sure the other features (http_bind, register, admin, captcha, ...) will work with that prefix.
I'm considering to use a "sub-vhost", like ejabberd.domain.example.com to proxy without prefix.
But it is usually less convenient...
