if only you have read the documentation...

http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass

...
When the URI is changed inside a proxied location using the rewrite
directive, and this same configuration will be used to process a
request (break):

location /name/ {
    rewrite    /name/([^/]+) /users?name=$1 break;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
}

In this case, the URI specified in the directive is ignored and the
full changed request URI is passed to the server.
