Sablier Nginx routing query

[vutsalsinghal]

Hi There,

This is a followup question to the discussion in https://github.com/acouvreur/sablier/discussions/161

Consider whoami_container is down currently. When I go to who.exmaple.com, I have achieved this workflow without issues:

who.exmaple.com -> who.exmaple.com/dynamic/whoami_container ->(sablier brings up container) -> who.exmaple.com

I'm able to achieve this by using something like this in nginx

error_page 502 503 = @error50x;
location @error50x {
    return 302 /dynamic/whoami_container;
}

But how do I achieve this?

who.exmaple.com/some-uri -> who.exmaple.com/dynamic/whoami_container ->(sablier brings up container) ->  who.exmaple.com/some-uri

I tried a few things but I was not able to redirect (or preserve) the the original uri (/some-uri) once the container was up...

My question is, why would you need the redirect in the first place?

The goal of this plugin is to intercept request in-flight. So no redirects are needed.

However, if you really need this, then I'm not so sure how it could work. Maybe you could just use the Sablier endpoint directly instead of the plugin
