nginx - route to application via path

Question

I want to use nginx to route to different application via path. I use the following nginx config (minimal example):

server {
    listen 80;

    http://example.com;

    location /myapp/ {
        rewrite ^/myapp/(.*)$ /$1 break;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:port; 
    }

}

The request is working but some application do route back the response to the root. Instead of

http://example.com/myapp/*

I end up again on

http://example.com/*

Is there a way, that nginx does route all request from /myapp/* to http://localhost:port/* (application root) and route back the response to /myapp/*

So far I didn't find a solution.

Thanks

Answer 1

location /myapp/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:port/;
}

this will be enough to route all requests from http://example.com/myapp/* to http://localhost:port/*
