You *must* have your own code to handle the POST data. It will be a cgi
script, or a fastcgi script, or a servlet, or something like that.

This says "your own code is available at @test".

This says "your own code is really at http://localhost:8080/upload".

but you do not have your own code there.

Because http://localhost:8080/upload corresponds to a directory.

You must tell nginx where your own form-handling code is.

Where is it?
