http-internal-redirect #
ngx_http_internal_redirect_module allows making an internal redirect. In contrast to rewriting URIs, the redirection is made after rewrite phase. Currently supported request phases are preaccess, access, precontent and content, allowing it to be used with many nginx official or third-party modules.
