Strip Character from Server Variable

[jamessinton]

Hi all,

I am trying to do something that sounds very simple and yet has me
perplexed.  I need to strip the leading / from the $uri variable in my
nginx.conf.  I need to then pass that modified variable to ProxyPass.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to this in the nginx.conf
syntax.

Thanks in advance.

James
