如何将nginx中的某个URL映射到外部网站

Question

I would like to download a file hosted on an external CDN whenever the user hits a particular URL in my website.

For ex. I have a certain file hosted at https://asset.mycdn.com/file.exe ;

Now when the user hits the URL https://www.mywebsite.com/download , then it should automatically download the file hosted at https://asset.my-cdn.com/file.exe .

Answer 1

Add following in your nginx settings :

location ^/download {
        return 301 https://asset.my-cdn.com/file.exe;
}
