proxy_pass http://backend
请求转向backend定义的服务器列表，即反向代理，对应upstream负载均衡器。也可以proxy_pass http://ip:port。


proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;


五、其它nginx参数
5.1 访问控制 allow/deny
Nginx 的访问控制模块默认就会安装，而且写法也非常简单，可以分别有多个allow,deny，允许或禁止某个ip或ip段访问，依次满足任何一个规则就停止往下匹配。如：


location /nginx-status {
 stub_status on;
 access_log off;
# auth_basic  "NginxStatus";
# auth_basic_user_file  /usr/local/nginx-1.6/htpasswd;
 allow 192.168.10.100;
 allow 172.29.73.0/24;
 deny all;
}


我们也常用 httpd-devel 工具的 htpasswd 来为访问的路径设置登录密码：


# htpasswd -c htpasswd admin
New passwd:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user admin
# htpasswd htpasswd admin  //修改admin密码
# htpasswd htpasswd sean  //多添加一个认证用户


这样就生成了默认使用CRYPT加密的密码文件。打开上面nginx-status的两行注释，重启nginx生效。
5.2 列出目录 autoindex
Nginx默认是不允许列出整个目录的。如需此功能，打开nginx.conf文件，在location，server 或 http段中加入如下参数：


location /images {
 root  /var/www/nginx-default/images;
 autoindex on;
 autoindex_exact_size off;
 autoindex_localtime on;
 }



  
autoindex on;运行列出目录内容。另外两个参数最好也加上去。
  
autoindex_exact_size off; 默认为on，显示出文件的确切大小，单位是bytes。改为off后，显示出文件的大概大小，单位是kB或者MB或者GB。
  
autoindex_localtime on; 默认为off，显示的文件时间为GMT时间。改为on后，显示的文件时间为文件的服务器时间。

六、附录：如何查看是否开启了gzip压缩
如果response header中包含Content-Encoding:gzip则表示开启gzip压缩。


Connection:keep-alive
Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Type:text/html
Date:Wed, 29 Mar 2017 10:55:54 GMT
ETag:W/"58db92af-331a6"
Last-Modified:Wed, 29 Mar 2017 10:55:43 GMT
Server:nginx/1.10.3
Transfer-Encoding:chunked
Vary:Accept-Encoding
