Hi there,

I suspect you'll get better help from someone else.

I'm unable to work out what it is that you want nginx to do.

What does that mean, in the problem-report format of "I use this
configuration; I make request A; I get response B; but I expect response C"?

What does "take us to app" mean? The problem report should be in the
same format as above.

What happens when you add the sessionid to the curl request?

(The whole point of using curl is to make it easier to see what is
happening. If it doesn't make it easier, don't use curl. Instead, find
some other way of clearly describing the unwanted behaviour that you see.)

The same problem report format will probably help here too.

Each css or js request is a separate http request, so for each one you
can say "I make request A; I get response B; but I expect response C".

Good luck with it,
