Serving pdf configuration issue

[Victor Oppenheimer]

I am running nginx 1.24.0 on a computer with
Windows Server 2016 Server standard OS.

I am truing to use nginx to function as a reverse proxy
server when it received requests for some URLs and
to directly serve web pages for others.  I was successful s
configuing nginx to do the reverse proxy serving.

However, when I tried to directly serve some .pdf pages I kept
getting errors.  To isolate the problem I edited nginx.config
to only function as a direct server for a .pdf file.

I have a file named camprental.pdf in the directory
     C:\Users\victor\My 
Drive\Properties\rental_manuals_documents_and_email_templates\Clearwater

I want users to be able to browse to:
     www.clearwaterescapes.com/camp/camprental.pdf to see the file.

The nginx.conf file I am using to try to accomplish this is copied below.

When I start nginx with this config file and browse to:
     http://clearwaterescapes.com/camp/camprrental.pdf

I receive the following error message:
     This page isn’t working right nowclearwaterescapes.com redirected 
you too many times.

I assume that I am probably making a simple error.  But I do not see it.

Hopefully somebody will point it out.
