But if we try a different browser or if we clear cookies in the devtools panel (firefox -> storage) then, that cookie will not be saved and we run into the same issue. The nginx config now forwards correctly with the new regex and proper proxy_redirect. The new issue is the token having to be manually inputted into the form. Subsequent nginx forwards successfully forward the port/url link without an issue. Example token accepted by nginx regex: ``` http://localhost/49761/?token=f6269bbf48ee5c9887732f5bc76d32f37e1f25483195ae88 ``` The next step is to get jupyter to accept the generated token on the first request without needing to input it manually first. * closed
