I'm trying to get nginx + php-fpm +wordpress to serve some pages from my site while acting as a proxy to other pages.
ie:
host/foo -> proxy to another www server
host/bar -> wordpress (via fpm)
the proxy part works fine, but the nginx -> wordpress part just keeps redirecting to the root page.
When i strace the php-fpm process, i see the hits coming in and wordpress actually does it's think and loads all the content, but at the last second it just redirects back to the root page.
Can't find anything on google as to how to see the incoming fastcgi params on the php side. guessing something is wrong in the headers being sent from nginx, but I have no idea how to see what all is being sent. (strace not super-helpful here since it only gives the first few bytes)
if I try it via telnet and type:
GET / HTTP/1.0 <CR><CR>
i get the correct content as you would expect (ie: doesn't redirect). but from a browser it's getting redirected.
