如何为具有特殊字符的URL配置nginx proxy_pass

Question

My configuration uses a proxy path for a url prefixed by v0.1 . Nginx doesn't proxy for my backend. When I change to just v everything works as it should. My suspicion is that the . has special meaning.

How should I modify this configuration for it to work?

 location /v0.1 {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
 }

I don't know what your configuration is supposed to do. But I have tested two similar scenarios which both work as expected.

The first will delete the leading /v0.1 from the URI before sending it upstream, so the service on 8080 never sees the /v0.1 part:

location /v0.1/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
}

The second will pass the entire URI (including the /v0.1 prefix) to the upstream:

location /v0.1 {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
} 

See this document for details.
