Ngnix as Proxy with Multiple Directories Issue

[ckozler]

Hi Everyone,

I am having an odd issue here with Ngnix as a my proxy for my pages
served up by Apache.  This is a pretty vanilla proxy setup - the issues
I am facing (and my respective config) are as follows:

I have my DNS and everything setup properly so I know that is not an
issue.  All requests to licensing.fixflyer.com and licensing are sent to
the Ngnix web proxy and I can confirm that it is not in fact any DNS
issue.  With that - 




The issue:

Whenever I type licensing/downloads or licensing.fixflyer.com/downloads
it redirects me to http://licensing/licensing.fixflyer.com/downloads and
http://licensing.fixflyer.com/licensing.fixflyer.com/downloads
(respectively depending on which request was made) - the same goes for
the downloads domain as well.

I am thinking I need to add a location block for every directory that I
want to proxy for but that seems a little wrong - shouldnt any request
to licensing.fixflyer.com regardless of the directory path be
automatically resolved and not auto-appended as such?
