How to use Nginx X-Accel-Redirect to proxy remote files in Ruby on Rails app?










0














I want to use a proxy to be able to collect statistics on files and don’t want to expose direct urls to the files.



And then be able to go to another service without changing the original url



Now I'm using Cloudinary and the file path looks like this:



<%= cl_video_tag("dog") %>
=> https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/video/upload/dog.mp4
