`oauth2-proxy` supports having multiple upstreams, and has the option to pass requests on to HTTP(S) servers, unix socket or serve static files from the file system. `oauth2-proxy` supports having multiple upstreams, and has the option to pass requests on to HTTP(S) servers, unix socket or serve static files from the file system.
HTTP and HTTPS upstreams are configured by providing a URL such as `http://127.0.0.1:8080/` for the upstream parameter. . This will forward all authenticated requests to the upstream server. If you instead provide `http://127.0.0.1:8080/some/path/` then it will only be requests that start with `/some/path/` which are forwarded to the upstream. To configure **HTTP and HTTPS upstreams**, provide such a URL in `--upstream=URL`. The scheme+host portion and the path portion are extracted to configure proxying behavior. When processing incoming requests, the path portion becomes a lookup key for selecting the destination server of the proxied request.
Unix socket upstreams are configured as `unix:///path/to/unix.sock`. * Upstream URLs *without a trailing slash,* like in `--upstream=http://service2.internal/foo`, will match an incoming request exactly to `/foo` in `https://this.o2p.example.com/foo`, and forward the request on to service2.internal, but not match a request to `https://this.o2p.example.com/foo/more` nor ...`.com/food`.
* Upstream URLs *with a trailing slash,* like in `--upstream=http://service1.internal/foo/`, will match any incoming request to any incoming requests's path *starting with* `/foo/`, like `/foo/` and `/foo/more` and `/foo/lots/more?etc`.
Static file paths are configured as a file:// URL. `file:///var/www/static/` will serve the files from that directory at `http://[oauth2-proxy url]/var/www/static/`, which may not be what you want. You can provide the path to where the files should be available by adding a fragment to the configured URL. The value of the fragment will then be used to specify which path the files are available at, e.g. `file:///var/www/static/#/static/` will make `/var/www/static/` available at `http://[oauth2-proxy url]/static/`. If multiple `--upstream` URLs' paths match an incoming request, the one with the longest matching path (the most specific match) takes priority over shorter (less specific) ones.
