## Ajax proxy
In order for users to load CORS protected data within a map, Nginx can act as a proxy.
Here is an example configuration for this:
```
location ~ ^/proxy/(.*) {
internal;
add_header X-Proxy-Cache $upstream_cache_status always;
proxy_cache_background_update on;
proxy_cache_use_stale updating;
proxy_cache ajax_proxy;
proxy_cache_valid 1m; # Default. Umap will override using X-Accel-Expires
set $target_url $1;
# URL is encoded, so we need a few hack to clean it back.
if ( $target_url ~ (.+)%3A%2F%2F(.+) ){ # fix :// between scheme and destination
set $target_url $1://$2;
}
if ( $target_url ~ (.+?)%3A(.*) ){ # fix : between destination and port
set $target_url $1:$2;
}
if ( $target_url ~ (.+?)%2F(.*) ){ # fix / after port, the rest will be decoded by proxy_pass
set $target_url $1/$2;
}
resolver 8.8.8.8;
add_header X-Proxy-Target $target_url; # For debugging
proxy_pass_request_headers off;
proxy_set_header Content-Type $http_content_type;
proxy_set_header Content-Encoding $http_content_encoding;
proxy_set_header Content-Length $http_content_length;
proxy_read_timeout 10s;
proxy_connect_timeout 5s;
proxy_ssl_server_name on;
proxy_pass $target_url;
proxy_intercept_errors on;
error_page 301 302 307 = @handle_proxy_redirect;
}
location @handle_proxy_redirect {
resolver 8.8.8.8;
set $saved_redirect_location '$upstream_http_location';
proxy_pass $saved_redirect_location;
}
```
