Redirect to APIs based on Request header values

concealed.rabi

Hi guys,

I am trying to build a common API Gateway. I'm thinking of doing it via NGINX. So my use case is,

on the basis of request headers, I want to redirect to some internal APIs.

e.g.


  if ( request_headers.ANDROID_VERSION == 4.1.1 ) {
     redirect to http://127.0.0.1:9000/api
  }

I am new to Nginx, so I dont know where to start it or how to do it?

I guess you just need the "internal redirect" thing here. I don't know
your concrete context, but you can check out the following:
