<p>Hello Igor,<br /><br />Thanks so much for your help.<br /><br />I tried your suggestions but sadly to no result; the ASP.NET app returns the same result.<br /><br />Now I'm wondering: when I connect to the IIS server by IP instead of its DNS name, I get the same error (only difference is that css works here). My guess would be the server is using name based virtual hosting. <br /><br />So I tried to change the Host value in header to the IIS server's DNS name. When I connect to the IIS server, I am redirected to the IIS server. <br /><br />What could I do to make this work? I presume this is a general error regarding reverse proxying with name based virtual hosting?<br /><br />Best, Robin<br /> </p><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(50, 95, 186); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px;">-----Original message-----<br /><strong>To:</strong> nginx@nginx.org; <br /><strong>From:</strong> Igor Sysoev <igor@sysoev.ru><br /><strong>Sent:</strong> Wed 26-01-2011 17:37<br /><strong>Subject:</strong> Re: Nginx reverse proxy issue<br />On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 02:36:01PM +0100, Robin Diederen wrote:<br /><br />> Hello all,<br />> <br />> For the last few days I’ve been trying Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of an IIS webserver with an ASP.NET webapp. <br />> <br />> <br />> From the Nginx configuration: <br />> <br />> location / { proxy_pass http://theproxiedserver/somepath; } <br />> <br />> <br />> When I visit http://nginx I see an error generated by “theproxiedserver”; from this I conclude that the basic proxying is working.
