How to set multiple headers correctly

[johngully]

I have been using the reverse proxy successfully for some time. One of the applications that I'm running behind the proxy has updated and requires the following headers to work properly. What is the correct way to set these headers?

proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;

The following configuration was working until recently:
command: -w "http://example-container:8989/example-path/;/example-path/"

I'm having this same issue. Whenever I edit the conf file and restart the container, it just overwrites my changes. Could you please assist in changing this configuration? Besides the above, it also states:

the FAQ explicitly says DO NOT do proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

@johngully I resolved this, its not perfect but it works.

1. Connect to your dperson/nginx container (replace webproxy with your container name): sudo docker exec -it webproxy /bin/bash
2. cd /etc/nginx/conf.d
3. vi default.conf
4. Scroll down about 20 lines until you see location /radarr
5. Modify the lines under ## Required for websockets to fit what you have in your original post
6. Scroll down about 75 lines to the section for port 80
7. Location the same line: location /radarr
8. Make the same modification
9. press escape, wq to save
10. Here is the part that messed me up, you cannot restart the docker for the changes to take place or it will reset all your changes. Instead SSH into your server that is running docker and run the following. Replacing "webproxy" with your container name.
11. sudo docker exec -it webproxy nginx -s reload
    12 Restart your radarr container

@mpengle Thanks for looking into this. I tried the steps you outlined and they do work! The problem remains that this is not configurable for through the dperson/nginx proxy, and if the docker container ever gets restarted, or updated these changes will be lost. I'm looking for an approach that will allow these configurations to be specified.

@dperson Fundamentally the only change that is required is that the proxy_set_header needs to be set differently.

proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection

1. Would it be possible to change the default setting to this value $http_connection, rather than the current value of "upgrade"?
2. If this change is to intrusive, how would you recommend configuring it?
