title: Rewrite path for nginx Ingress
body: <p>I need to point Ingress to images so that my Pods gets the URL, in full. I have the below config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
  kind: Ingress
  metadata:
    name: solar-demo
    annotations:
      nginx.org/server-snippet: "proxy_ssl_verify off;"
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
  spec:
    rules:
    - host: shmukler.example.com
      http:
        paths:
        - path: /city/*
          backend:
            serviceName: solar-demo
            servicePort: 3000
        - path: /solar/*
          backend:
            serviceName: solar-demo
            servicePort: 3001
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I keep the line: <code>nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /</code>, my services inside the Pods get the rewritten paths, so <code>/city/dublin</code> becomes <code>/dublin</code>.</p>
  
  <p>If I comment out the line <code>nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /</code>, I just get <code>503</code> errors on the client side, and nothing in the logs. With rewrite, my services give me <code>404</code> because there is no route <code>/dublin</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong? How could I just pass the path on and have the Pods respond?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ kubectl describe svc solar-demo
