Is there a way to forward a page from proxy in nginx?

I configure a reverse proxy in my nginx.conf, and it works very well.

location /foo/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/;
    proxy_intercept_errors on;
    proxy_redirect   off;
}

and I also handle the error request:

location @404 {
    #redirect to http://localhost:5000/foo/index.html
    return 302 /foo/index.html; 
}
error_page 404 = @404;

As you can see, I use 302 to redirect to the index.html. also works perfectly so far.

But what I want is not redirect. I want to forward the index page to browser. (the reason I need forward is I want to handle the refresh problem when I enable the html5mode and remove the # in angularjs app.)

So is there a way to do this?

Your named location is forcing a redirect. The error_page handling does not require a redirect. You can specify a local URI in the error_page statement, that is handled by your proxy location:

For example:

location /foo/ {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/;
    proxy_intercept_errors on;
    proxy_redirect   off;
}
error_page 404 = /foo/index.html;
