This is technically feasible. But this module does not support this feature.
It needs a new nginx upstream module to fire CONNECT tunnel request to upstream and then proxy data flow via this tunnel to backend.
According to my nginx-C developing experience, it is hard to modify and debug nginx upstream from its C core base.
Hi there,
I found some kind of similar questions (166, 210) but in details my scenario is different:
I have a client C (part of a web application) which can't be configured to use a forward proxy for API calls to a service S that can only be reached via a forward proxy F. This web app though runs on a virtual appliance which runs nginx to reverse proxy inbound connections to the web app.
Could I enable this nginx with this module to act as reverse proxy R but not pass_proxy directly to service S but via the forward proxy F?
So basically:
[ C ] ---- API Call ----> [ R ] ----- CONNECT / tunnel ----> [ F ] -----> [ S ]
