OK. That is clear enough.

My normal setup is 
     location / {
         try_files $uri $uri/ @proxy;
     }
I just ran the 'try_files $uri $uri/;' as a test to try to see whether
the file gets served by Nginx or by the backend if it is the index.html
being called.

I see now from your explanation that the test would always fail.

Thanks
