Untested, but I'd suggest to use a map (http://nginx.org/r/map) to save
the part of $request_uri that you want to use in the proxy_pass url.

It may become complicated if you want to handle people requesting things
like /ap%69/stuff, but otherwise should probably work.

(The alternative is probably to use a url encoder on the appropriate
parts of your url; I don't know of one that drop-in works.)
