I believe the original regex from apache's config was 
prefix-match, so '=' should be removed.

-        rewrite ^ https://www.example.com$request_uri permanent;
+        rewrite ^ https://www.example.com$request_uri? permanent;

Since $request_uri already includes query string, it's important 
to add '?' to prevent duplication of query string.
