It works for me.

Are you sure that the config file that you think you are using is actually
being used?

Do you have any other "location" blocks defined that nginx will choose
to process the "/web.config" request, instead of this one?

If you test by temporarily making this the only location{} block in your
config, do you see it work or fail?
