This should work:

location / {

    proxy_pass http://174.36.130.243:81/;        
    proxy_redirect     off;
    proxy_set_header   Host             $host;
    proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    client_max_body_size       1m;
    client_body_buffer_size    128k;
    proxy_connect_timeout      90;
    proxy_send_timeout         90;
    proxy_read_timeout         90;
    proxy_buffer_size          4k;
    proxy_buffers              4 32k;
    proxy_busy_buffers_size    64k;
    proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;

    location ^~ /File: {
  
        location ~* /File:[^/]*\.(?:jpe?g|png|gif|html)$ {
            proxy_pass http://174.36.130.243:81/;
        }
    }
}
