Good to hear that you found a configuration that works for you :-)

Once you understand how nginx uses its config, and how directive
inheritance works, then you won't be surprised by the behaviour you
configured.

(With a few exceptions, often related to the rewrite module, the general
pattern is: one request is handled in one location{}; and each directive
*not* explicit in that location either inherits from the surrounding
context, or does not inherit at all. And a directive is something like
"proxy_set_header", not "proxy_set_header X-Real-IP".)

Good luck with it,
