node.js - Node .js server with nginx and basic auth -

i'm trying run node.js server behind nginx, basic auth. here minimal config:

server {   auth_basic "closed website";   auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;    location / {     proxy_pass  http://localhost:3000/;     proxy_set_header host $host;     proxy_set_header x-real-ip $remote_addr;     proxy_set_header x-forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;   } } 

my first problem when go x.x.x.x, basic auth form re-appears every time (indefinitely) hit enter (whatever set login , password - ones).

the server returns plain text res.end("hello world\n");, can see second before basic auth form appears again.

second question, possible block x.x.x.x:3000 (if not, there no point in setting auth on :80).

thanks!

btw it's first time setup nginx (and spent quite lot of time on already).

note: works without basic auth (or auth_basic off; in location).

currently website looks that: :)

ok bad, got it!

apparently passwords in .htpasswd have encrypted, openssl passwd worked fine.

the second question easy one, iptables there that.

hope might other new users of nginx!
