Nginx add location details to URL when we stop decoding URL

[malintha]

I am accessing a URL which has encode characters

http:....../malintha/tel%3A%2B6281808147137



   location /gateway/ {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_read_timeout 5m;
    proxy_send_timeout 5m;
    proxy_pass http://10.1.1.1:9443$request_uri/;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
}

I added $request_uri at then end of the proxy_pass URL as I have to stop
decoding by nginx.

When I configure like this nginx resolve it to (stop decoding but incorrect
URL - adding /gateway/)

/gateway/malintha/tel%3A%2B6281808147137

but When I remove $request_uri it resolve to correct URL (but with
decoding)

How can I resolve this ?

malintha/tel:+6281808147137
