There is no need to use regexp here, just normal "location /" will 
do the same thing.

Something like

    rewrite ^ https://mydomain.com$request_uri? permanent;

is a bit more effecient way to do the same thing.

You don't need "mydomain.com" here, just "location = /x/y".

And you don't need redirect here, as it will create infinite loop 
as long as this is config for http part of mydomain.com.

Bringing all of the above together gives something like this:

    location / {
        rewrite ^ https://mydomain.com$request_uri? permanent;
    }

    location = /x/y {
        # ... process it right here
    }
