nginx location with proxy server

Got nginx proxy server setup ready. The server handles requests from main machine. The following configuration is working for common files, but flv returns 404 not found error:

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://x.x.x.x:80/;
    proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header   Host $host;
    proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header   X-Remote-Addr $remote_addr;

        location ~* \.flv$ {
        flv;
        root /var/www/machinery/data/www;
        }
  }

Basically i want .flv pseudo-streaming handled by the server. It seems nginx is trying to find a flv file inside the proxy server(according to logs), not in the main server where file is located. How do I do it?

Solution

  • The question would actually be: Can someone use NGinx to do pseudo streaming for proxied FLV files?

    And the answer is no, you cannot.
