I have a blog project created at https://barkibu-content.webflow.io/, however, I want to be able to display it under my own domain, which would be barkibu.com, so that when browsing to barkibu.com/blog it loads the information hosted at https://barkibu-content.webflow.io/.
To do this I have made a local reverse proxy in Ruby on Rails using the rack-reverse-proxy gem, as shown in this application.rb code:
config.middleware.insert(0, Rack::ReverseProxy) do
reverse_proxy_options preserve_host: true
# Add a reverse proxy rule for the /blog route
reverse_proxy /^\/blog(\/.*)$/, 'https://barkibu-content.webflow.io/$1'
end
The problem I am facing is that when navigating to the following URLs I am encountering the following behaviors:
- localhost:3000/blog → It loads the content of https://barkibu-content.webflow.io/ and keeps the original host (localhost:3000)
- localhost:3000/blog/post/cupon-de-descuento-de-barkibu → loads the content of Cupón de descuento Barkibu de 25€, however, it no longer maintains the original host and when I navigate to this URL both from an internal link or by typing it directly into the browser, a 301 redirection occurs from localhost:3000/blog/post/cupon-de-descuento-de-barkibu to https ://barkibu-content.webflow.io/post/cupon-de-descuento-de-barkibu.
This happens in all the pages and subdirectories of my Webflow project, except in the root directory, which does keep the host, when I want it to keep the host in all the pages. Is this happening due to some kind of Webflow limitation or do you see something misconfigured in my code?
