Comment (by bsd):

 I'm trying to reverse proxy the tahoe web frontend through nginx in order
 to use nginx's built-in auth_basic functionality, since there currently
 isn't a way to authenticate access to the web interface. I can
 successfully look at the welcome page, but if I want to access a tahoe
 URI, it'll try to use the port configured in tahoe.cfg, instead of passing
 through nginx. Since tahoe is running on localhost, my connection fails.

 {{{
 [node]
 web.port = tcp:4567:interface=127.0.0.1
 web.static = public_html
 }}}

 {{{
                 proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567/;
                 autoindex       off;
                 proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding '';
                 proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires;
                 proxy_set_header Referer $http_referer;
                 proxy_set_header Host $host;
                 proxy_set_header Cookie $http_cookie;
                 proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
                 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
                 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For
 $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                 auth_basic "Restricted";
                 auth_basic_user_file /path/to/htpasswd;
 }}}

 These are the relevant configuration bits for tahoe and nginx,
 respectively.
