Question about rewrite

[Denis S. Filimonov]

The last directive tells nginx to finish url rewriting and do the location 
matching again with the updated url. However, I just realized that you are 
redirecting to another host, so probably what you need is "redirect" 
or "permanent." That will just redirect the user with 302 or 301 code. 
Sorry for the confusion.
