proxy_pass with variable removes uri

[luckyswede]

Also, I want to make use of a resolver, which requires variables in the
proxy_pass directive. Does this mean that it is not possible to
automatically "strip" out the leading "/api" (which seems to not work with
variables) and using resolvers (which requires variables)?
