It is possible to do something like this:

location ~* /foo/ {
     set $rewrite_uri "";

     if ($uri ~* ^/foo/(.*)$) {
         set $rewrite_uri  $1;
     }

     log_format  custom  '$remote_addr $request '
                         '"$status" "$http_user_agent" <$rewrite_uri>';
     access_log  logs/access.log  custom;

     proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
     proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/$rewrite_uri;
}


But I'm not sure if this is the best solution; moreover it is likely to 
break urls in the proxied application (if they are relative and not 
absolute).

Note that this requires nginx 0.6.x.
