I would have kept the
rewrite<http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html#rewrite>statement
which was a good idea.​

​The produced redirect is always a 301 (not 302) when the replacement
string starts with http(s) (check the doc page to which I provide the
link).​
Why would you replace it with a 'if' statement?

I guess you can use the variables in the rewrite directive aswell.
