Ok, I think i'm not using the right words, maybe "rewriting" is not the
exact term. My problem is :
relative path for images are normal in the html files, looking like
"/media/myimage.jpg"
I understand that the proxy_set_header directive would make the relative
path to be treated as serverIP/pyload/media/myimage.jpg, but the chrome
console shows that the relative path are treated as
serverIP/media/myimage.jpg
