POST redirection with NGINX

[pedrobrigatto]

Hi guys, 

The base name of a web application has changed and now I need to implement a
redirection of POST requests so that, whenever clients already using the old
base path are not affected by this modification. So, let's say the old path
to a web service is https://ip-address/old-name/rest/mymethod and now it is
going to be https://ip-address/new-name/rest/mymethod

I tried both return 307 and rewrite rules but nothing worked until now. 
Can you please give me a hand on this?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards, 
Pedro
