Because, in this case, the "location" part matches the end of the "alias"
part, you could instead choose to use "root" here as well.

http://nginx.org/r/alias

The easiest way would be to change the index.html.

If it refers to http://server/js or to /js, make it instead refer to js.

Failing that, you could try setting up extra location{}s or redirects
to handle this one exception; but I imagine that will turn in to "just
one more exception as well...", multiple times.
