Nginx proxy for an endpoint that redirect automatically to another path

[meniem]

I'm trying to setup an Nginx proxy that redirect all requests from
provider.domain.com to proxy.appname.com/provider (where proxy.appname.com
is the server_name in nginx server)

The configuration of server and location blocks are fine, but the issue is
that the provider.domain.com is automatically redirecting to
provider.domain.com/broker/login.php (when I hit the provider.domain.com
from the browser, it's automatically taking me to
provider.domain.com/broker/login.php) which give an error with nginx proxy
when trying to redirect to a non-existent page (proxy.appname.com/provider
redirect to proxy.appname.com/broker/login.php -> which does not exist)


        location /provider/ {
        proxy_pass https://provider.domain.com;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
        proxy_set_header Host proxy.appname.com;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/appname.log debug;
        proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding text/xml;
	}



So, how can I set this to redirect all requests from provider.domain.com 
automatically to 
proxy.appname.com/provider (we don't need to mention the full path in
proxy_pass; as we have multiple endpoints to hi from the provider link such
as api…etc.)

I have also tried to follow the redirect using, but didn't work out:




    proxy_intercept_errors on;
    error_page 301 302 307 = @handle_redirects;

    location @handle_redirects {
       set $orig_loc $upstream_http_location;
       proxy_pass $orig_loc;
    }
}

Appreciate your help on this
